The goal of the data collection
process is to support a national 911 profile that will be used to
help accurately measure and depict the current status and planned
capabilities of 911 systems across the United States. The State
agencies voluntarily submit data. The frequency of the data is
collected annually. It is the only known collection of 911 data at
the national level and used by local, state, and federal agencies.
It is also shared internationally and used by both the public and
private sectors, to identify ways to support the provision of
optimal 911 service. The national 911 Profile Database can be used
to follow the progress of 911 authorities in enhancing their
existing systems and implementing next-generation networks for more
advanced systems. The information is also used to identify ways in
which the National 911 Program can support State and local 911
authorities in the transition process. This submission proposes a
revision. This revision to this information collection is
recommended, because as the implementation of NG911 progresses and
nearly all 911 agencies have reached a common level of deployment,
it makes sense to revise the data elements to better reflect the
current status of NG911 implementation.
There is an increase adjustment
in the burden hours from 168 hours to 5,488 hours because the data
elements were revised. As the implementation of NG911 progresses
and nearly all 911 agencies have reached a common level of
deployment, the data elements had to be revised to better reflect
the current status of NG911 implementation.
