Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize

collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

Title: Deployment of Text-to-911.
Form Number: Not applicable.

Responses.

hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time;
annual reporting requirements and
third-party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for these collections is
contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i),
154(j), 154(o), 251(e), 303(b), 303(g),
303(r), 316, and 403.
Total Annual Burden: 69,883 hours.

Needs and Uses: In a Second Report
and Order released on August 13, 2014,
FCC 14–118, published at 79 FR 55367,
September 16, 2014, the Commission
adopted final rules—containing
information collection requirements—to
enable the Commission to implement
text-to-911 service. The text-to-911 rules
provide enhanced access to emergency
services for people with disabilities and
fulfilling a crucial role as an alternative
means of emergency communication for
the general public in situations where
sending a text message to 911 as
opposed to placing a voice call could be
vital to the caller’s safety. The Second
Report and Order adopted rules to

Jkt 244001

commence the implementation of textto-911 service with an initial deadline of
December 31, 2014 for all covered text
providers to be capable of supporting
text-to-911 service. The Second Report
and Order also provided that covered
text providers would then have a sixmonth implementation period. They
must begin routing all 911 text messages
to a Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) by June 30, 2015 or within six
months of a valid PSAP request for textto-911 service, whichever is later. To
implement these requirements, the
Commission seeks to collect information
primarily for a database in which PSAPs
voluntarily register that they are
technically ready to receive text
messages to 911. As PSAPs become textready, they may either register in the
PSAP database (or submit a notification
to PS Docket Nos. 10–255 and 11–153),
or provide other written notification
reasonably acceptable to a covered text
messaging provider. Either measure
taken by the PSAP constitutes sufficient
notification pursuant to the rules in the
Second Report and Order. PSAPs and
covered text providers may also agree to
an alternative implementation
timeframe (other than six months).
Covered text providers must notify the
FCC of the dates and terms of any such
alternate timeframe within 30 days of
the parties’ agreement. Additionally, the
rules adopted by the Second Report and
Order include other information
collections for third party notifications
necessary for the implementation of
text-to-911, including notifications to
consumers, covered text providers, and
the Commission. These notifications are
essential to ensure that all affected
parties are aware of the limitations,
capabilities, and status of text-to-911
services. These information collections
enable the Commission to meet the
objectives for implementation of text-to911 service and for compliance by
covered text providers with the sixmonth implementation period in
furtherance of the Commission’s core
mission to ensure the public’s safety.

There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The overall
reduction in burden hours is a result of
economic fluctuation. In particular, the
number of respondents has decreased
while the reporting frequency and the
estimated time per response remain the
same.
General Description of Collection: The
1975 Amendments to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 established a
comprehensive framework for the
regulation of the activities of municipal
securities dealers. Under Section 15B(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act,
municipal securities dealers which are
banks, or separately identifiable
departments or divisions of banks
engaging in municipal securities
activities, are required to be registered
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with such
rules as the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a
rulemaking authority established by the
1975 Amendments, may prescribe as

necessary or appropriate in the public
interest or for the protection of
investors.
One of the areas in which the Act
directed the MSRB to promulgate rules
is the qualifications of persons
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
principals and municipal securities
representatives. The MSRB Rules
require persons who are or seek to be
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
principals or municipal securities
representatives to provide certain
background information and conversely,
require the municipal securities dealers
to obtain the information from such
persons. Generally, the information
required to be furnished relates to
employment history and professional
background including any disciplinary
sanctions and any claimed bases for
exemption from MSRB examination
requirements.

bank regulatory agencies, the

There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. There is an
overall reduction in burden hours
which is the result of (1) economic
fluctuation reflected by a decrease in the
number of FDIC-supervised institutions
and (2) a decrease in the number of
requests for deregistration of a registered
transfer agent forms submitted to the
FDIC.
General Description of Collection:
Under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78q–1), an insured
nonmember bank (or a subsidiary of
such a bank) that functions as a transfer
agent may withdraw from registration as
a transfer agent by filing a written notice
of withdrawal with the FDIC. The FDIC
requires such banks to file FDIC Form
6342/12 as the written notice of
withdrawal.

Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Reserve Board, have prescribed
Forms MSD–4 to satisfy these
requirements and have prescribed Form
MSD–5 for notification by a bank
municipal securities dealer that a
municipal securities principal’s or a
municipal securities representative’s
association with the dealer has
terminated and the reason for such
termination. State nonmember banks
and state savings associations that are
municipal security dealers submit these
forms, as applicable, to the FDIC as their
appropriate regulatory agency for each
person associated with the dealer as a
municipal securities principal or
municipal securities representative.
