NHTSA is proposing to collect and
aggregate information from state level reporting entities that can
be used to measure the progress of 9 1-1 authorities across the
country in enhancing their existing operations and migrating to
more advanced Internet-Protocol-enabled emergency networks. The
data will be maintained in a "National 9-1-1 Profile Database." One
of the objectives of the National 9-1-1 Program is to develop,
collect, and disseminate information concerning practices,
procedures, and technology used in the implementation of E9 1 1
services and to support 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) and related state and local public safety agencies for 9 1
1 deployment and operations. The National 9-1-1 profile database
can be used to follow the progress of 9-1-1 authorities in
enhancing their existing systems and implementing next-generation
networks for more advanced systems.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
