Needs and Uses: In an effort to facilitate the process of terrestrial providers taking steps to
ensure their subscribers’ access to the 911 system in areas where they use SCS arrangements to
expand coverage to their end-users and thus comply with the new Interim 911 Requirements for
Supplemental Coverage from Space as established in
Section 9.10(t), the Commission adopted certain information collection requirements for those
CMRS providers.
Annual Reporting Requirement. Under Section 9.10(t)(3), each CMRS provider that
utilizes SCS arrangements to expand its coverage areas for providing service to its end-user

subscribers must maintain records of all SCS 911 voice calls and SCS 911 text messages received
on its network and received at its emergency call center. By October 15 of each year, each
CMRS provider that utilizes SCS arrangements to expand its coverage areas for providing service
to its end-user subscribers must submit a report to the Commission regarding SCS 911 voice calls
and 911 text messages, and its emergency call center data, current as of September 30 of that
year. These reports must include, at a minimum: (i) The name and address of the CMRS
provider, the address of that CMRS provider's emergency call center, and the contact information
of the emergency call center; (ii) The aggregate number of SCS 911 voice calls and SCS 911 text
messages received by the network of the CMRS provider that provides SCS service to its enduser subscribers during each month during the relevant reporting period; (iii) The aggregate
number of SCS 911 voice calls and SCS 911 text messages received by the emergency call center
each month during the relevant reporting period; (iv) The aggregate number of SCS 911 voice
calls and SCS 911 text messages received by the emergency call center each month during the
relevant reporting period that required forwarding to a PSAP and how many did not require
forwarding to a PSAP; (v) The aggregate number of SCS 911 voice calls that were routed using
location information that met the timeliness and accuracy thresholds defined in paragraphs
(s)(3)(i)(A) and (B) of this section; (vi) The aggregate number of SCS 911 voice calls and SCS
911 text messages that were routed using location information that did not meet the timeliness
and accuracy thresholds defined in paragraphs (s)(3)(i)(A) and (B) of this section; and (vii) an
explanation of how the SCS deployment, including network architecture, systems, and
procedures, will support routing SCS 911 voice calls and SCS 911 text messages to the
geographically appropriate PSAP with sufficient location information in compliance with
paragraph (t)(2) of this section. The Commission would use the data generated by this annual
information collection to monitor CMRS provider compliance as well as analyze the growth and
development of 911 system access for end-users.
One-time Privacy Certification Requirement. Under Section 9.10(t)(4), CMRS providers
that utilize SCS arrangements to expand their coverage areas for providing service to their enduser subscribers must certify on a one-time basis that neither they nor any third party they rely on

to obtain location information or associated data used for compliance with paragraph (t)(2)(i) or
(ii) will use such location information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with
prior express consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law. The certification must state
that the CMRS provider and any third parties it relies on to obtain location information or
associated data used for compliance with paragraph (t)(2)(i) or (ii) have implemented measures
sufficient to safeguard the privacy and security of such location information or associated data.
CMRS providers that utilize SCS arrangements to expand their coverage areas for providing
service to their end-user subscribers must submit this one-time certification in the Commission’s
Electronic Comment Filing System on the due date of the first report made under paragraph (t)(3)
of this section. The Commission would use the data generated by this annual information
collection to monitor CMRS provider compliance as well as analyze the growth and development
of 911 system access for end-users.
One-time Subscriber Notification Requirement. Under Section 9.10(t)(5), each CMRS
provider that utilizes SCS arrangements to expand its coverage areas for providing service to its
end-user subscribers shall specifically advise every subscriber, both new and existing, in writing
prominently and in plain language, of the circumstances under which 911 service for all SCS 911
calls, or SCS 911 text messages may not be available via SCS or may be in some way limited by
comparison to traditional enhanced 911 service.
