seeks comment on proposed modifications to those information collections pursuant to the Sixth Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration in this proceeding, PS
Docket 07114.
New or Modified Collections Section 9.10i4iv requires all CMRS providers to certify that neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain dispatchable location information will use dispatchable location information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with prior express consent or as otherwise required by law. In addition, the certification must state that CMRS
providers and any third party they rely on to obtain dispatchable location information will implement measures sufficient to safeguard the privacy and security of dispatchable location information. Under 47 CFR
9.10i4v, all CMRS providers must certify that neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain z-axis information will use z-axis information or associated data for any non-911
purpose, except with prior express consent or as otherwise required by law. Further, the certification must state that CMRS providers and any third party they rely on to obtain z-axis information will implement measures sufficient to safeguard the privacy and security of z-axis location information.
The Commission obtained OMB
approval for the information collections contained in these certifications after adopting the Fourth Report and Order and Fifth Report and Order under OMB
Control No. 30601210. The Sixth Report and Order modified these information collections slightly by deleting references to the National Emergency Address Database NEAD, which has been discontinued and will not be available to CMRS providers. The Commission does not expect these changes to the certification requirements to result in any increase or decrease in the burden estimates for these collections as previously approved by OMB.
Section 9.10i3ii requires CMRS
providers that serve any of the six Test Cities identified by ATIS Atlanta, Denver/Front Range, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Manhattan Borough of New York City or portions thereof to collect and report aggregate data on the location technologies used for live 911 calls. As discussed below, in 2018, the Commission developed a reporting template to assist CMRS
providers in collecting, formatting, and submitting aggregate live 911 call data in accordance with the requirements in

the rules. After adopting the Fifth Report and Order, the Commission indicated that it would modify the live call template to include vertical location. We now propose to modify the form to include z-axis vertical location information from live calls in addition to horizontal location information.
Specifically, we propose to revise the template to include fields for reporting the percentage of total 911 calls that result in dispatchable location or z-axis location information by morphology and position technology and for reporting zaxis deployment options used for 911
calls.
Section 9.10j4 requires CMRS
providers to supply confidence and uncertainty C/U information with wireless E911 calls that have dispatchable location or z-axis information and to do so in accordance with the timelines for vertical location accuracy compliance. As noted below, OMB previously approved and renewed a C/U data requirement for horizontal location information under OMB
Control No. 30601204. See also OMB
Control No. 30601147. The Fifth Report and Order extended the C/U
requirements to include vertical location information, and OMB
approved that modification. The Sixth Report and Order revised 47 CFR
9.10j4 to add a requirement that where floor-level information is available to CMRS providers, they must provide C/U data for the z-axis vertical information included with such floorlevel information.
Under Section 9.10k, CMRS
providers must record information on all live 911 calls, including the C/U data that they provide to PSAPs under Section 9.10j of the rules. In addition, Section 9.10k requires CMRS
providers to make this information available to PSAPs upon request and to retain it for a period of two years. The Commission obtained OMB approval for the information collections contained in Section 9.10k after adopting the Fourth Report and Order. The Sixth Report and Order amended Section 9.10k to make explicit that the requirements in the rule extend to C/U data for dispatchable location and floor-level information, as well as for z-axis information. This eliminated a potential gap in the rule, which previously referred only to z-axis information.
Section 9.10i2iiJ4 provides that a CMRS provider will be deemed to have met its z-axis technology deployment obligation so long as it either pre-installs or affirmatively pushes the location technology to end users so that they receive a prompt or other notice informing them that the

application or service is available and what they need to do to download and enable the technology on their phone. A
CMRS provider will be deemed in compliance with its z-axis deployment obligation if it makes the technology available to the end user in this manner even if the end user declines to use the technology or subsequently disables it.
This is a new collection adopted by the Commission in the Sixth Report and Order.
Previously Approved Collections Section 9.10i2iiA requires that within three years of the effective date of the rule, CMRS providers shall deliver uncompensated barometric pressure data from any device capable of delivering such data to PSAPs. This requirement is necessary to ensure that PSAPs are receiving all location information possible to be used for dispatch. This requirement is also necessary to ensure that CMRS
providers implement a vertical location solution in the event that the proposed dispatchable location solution does not function as intended by the threeyear mark and beyond.
Section 9.10i2iiB requires that the four nationwide providers submit to the Commission for review and approval a reasonable metric for z-axis vertical location accuracy no later than 3 years from the effective date of rules.
This requirement is critical to ensure that the vertical location framework adopted in the Fourth Report and Order is effectively implemented.
Section 9.10i2iii requires CMRS
providers to certify compliance with the Commissions rules at various benchmarks throughout implementation of improved location accuracy. This requirement is necessary to ensure that CMRS providers remain on track to reach the location accuracy benchmarks.
Section 9.10i2iv provides that PSAPs may seek Commission enforcement of the location accuracy requirements within their geographic service area, but only so long as they have implemented policies that are designed to obtain all location information made available by CMRS
providers when initiating and delivering 911 calls to the PSAP. Prior to seeking Commission enforcement, a PSAP must provide the CMRS provider with 30
days written notice, and the CMRS
provider shall have an opportunity to address the issue informally. If the issue has not been addressed to the PSAPs satisfaction within 90 days, the PSAP
may seek enforcement relief.
Section 9.10i3i requires that within 12 months of the effective date, the four nationwide CMRS providers
