Abstract: In 2003, the Commission modified 47 C.F.R. Section 20.18(l) to further improve the ability of public safety answering points (PSAPs) to respond quickly and efficiently to calls for emergency assistance made from non-service initialized wireless mobile handsets. Non-service-initialized wireless mobile handsets (non-initialized handsets) are not registered for service with any Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) licensee. A non-initialized handset lacks a dialable number, but is programmed to make outgoing 911 calls. The Commission addressed issues arising from the inability of a PSAP operator to call back a 911 caller who becomes disconnected when using a non-service-initialized wireless handset. These requirements also apply to manufacturers of 911-only handsets that are manufactured after May 3, 2004.

Short Statement: We are adjusting the overall burden hours for this collection by removing the hours previously attributable to the software modification to program non-initialized handsets with the 911-xxx-xxxx (number code). The number code has been an industry standard for more than five years. It is no longer an independent programming effort, but rather included in the necessary functionality software for non-initialized handsets.
