SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Control No.: 3060–1217.
Title: Ensuring Continuity of 911
Communications Report and Order, PS
Docket No. 14–174, FCC 15–98.
Form No.: N/A (Disclosure required to
be made to subscribers).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or for-profit.
Number of Respondents and
Reponses: 570 respondents; 570
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 12
hours (on average) per initial
notification, varies by respondent.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirement and Third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in sections 1, 4(i), and
251(e)(3) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i),
251(e)(3); section 101 of the NET 911
Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law
110–283, 47 U.S.C. 615a–1; and section
106 of the Twenty-First Century
Communications and Video
Accessibility Act of 2010, Public Law
111–260, 47 U.S.C. 615c.
Total Annual Burden: 12 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: Section 9.20 of the
Commission’s rules places limited
backup power obligations on providers
of facilities-based fixed, residential
voice services that are not line-powered
to ensure that such service providers
meet their obligation to provide access
to 911 service during a power outage,
and to provide clarity for the role of
consumers and their communities
should they elect not to purchase
backup power.
Specifically, we require providers to
disclose to subscribers the following
information: (1) Availability of backup
power sources; (2) service limitations
with and without backup power during
a power outage; (3) purchase and
replacement options; (4) expected
backup power duration; (5) proper usage
and storage conditions for the backup
power source; (6) subscriber backup

power self-testing and monitoring
instructions; and (7) backup power
warranty details, if any. Each element of
this information must be given to
subscribers both at the point of sale and
annually thereafter, as described in the
rule.
The disclosure requirements are
intended to equip subscribers with
necessary information to purchase and
maintain a source of backup power to
enhance their ability to maintain access
to reliable 911 service from their homes.
We permit providers to convey both
the initial and annual disclosures and
information described above by any
means reasonably calculated to reach
the individual subscriber. For example,
a provider may meet this obligation
through a combination of disclosures
via email, an online billing statement, or
other digital or electronic means for
subscribers that communicate with the
provider through these means. For a
subscriber that does not communicate
with the provider through email and/or
online billing statements—such as
someone who ordered service on the
phone or in a physical store and
receives a paper bill by regular mail—
email would not be a means reasonably
calculated to reach that subscriber.

innovators in the financial, nonfinancial, and technology sectors to,
among other things, identify, develop
and promote technology-driven
innovations among community and
other banks in a manner that ensures the
safety and soundness of FDICsupervised and -insured institutions. An
innovation pilot program framework can

appropriate, to facilitate the testing of
innovative and advanced technologies,
products, services, systems, or activities.
As part of an innovation pilot program,
innovators may request information
from banks and other members of the
public outside of their normal course of
business. Any information provided by
banks and other members of the public
will be provided on a voluntary basis.
FDIC staff may similarly request
information on a voluntary basis from
banks or other members of the public to
evaluate the products or services
developed in the pilot programs. The
FDIC invites the general public,
including persons who may have an
interest in participating in innovation
pilot programs, and other Federal
agencies to comment on the agency’s
collection of information that may result
from innovators obtaining information
from banks and other members of the
public in connection with innovation
pilot programs, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. At
the end of the comment period, any
comments and recommendations
received will be reviewed to determine
the extent to which the collection of
proposals should be modified prior to
the submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before November 22, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments to

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC seeks to engage and collaborate
with innovators in the financial, nonfinancial, and technology sectors to,
among other things, identify, develop
and promote technology-driven
innovations among community and
other banks in a manner that ensures the
safety and soundness of FDICsupervised and -insured institutions. An
innovation pilot program framework
will provide a regulatory environment
in which the FDIC, in conjunction with
individual proposals collected from
innovators will provide tailored
regulatory and supervisory assistance,
when appropriate, to facilitate the
testing of innovative and advanced
technologies, products, services,
systems, or activities.
The FDIC anticipates that products
developed as part of innovation pilot
programs will improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of bank operations,
and eventually, examinations, while
increasing transparency and ultimately
reducing the cost of regulatory
compliance for participating
institutions. In addition, the FDIC
anticipates that proposals provided in
connection with the innovation pilot
programs will involve cutting-edge
innovations and novel approaches or
applications involving a banking
product, service, system, or activity that
benefits and can lead to better outcomes
for consumers.
As part of an innovation pilot
program, innovators may request
information from banks and other
members of the public outside of their
normal course of business. Any
information provided by banks and
other members of the public will be
provided on a voluntary basis. FDIC
staff may similarly request information
on a voluntary basis from banks or other
members of the public to evaluate the
products or services developed in the

pilot programs. This information is
intended to allow banks and the FDIC
to analyze the health of the overall
banking system, critical financial
sectors, or national, regional or local
economic conditions (i.e., horizontal
analysis). Additionally, bank specific
information may be collected in order to
allow for better insights into current and
escalating risks across all aspects of
banking. In particular, innovators may
request from banks and other members
of the public general ledger information
about all products and services, or a
subset of products and services, systems
or activities, and will not contain any
personally identifiable information (PII)
as defined in OMB Circular A–130 and
includes the disclosure of any financial
records or information which is
identified with or identifiable as being
derived from the financial records of a
particular customer.
The annual burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
4,000 hours. This represents an increase
of hours from the current burden
estimate and also a change in focus. In
particular, when this information
collection was first obtained, it included
the burden imposed on the innovators
and partner banks. In review of this
information collection, the FDIC has
decided to transfer the burden imposed
on innovators to existing information
collection 3064–0072 entitled,
‘‘Acquisition Services Information
Requirements,’’ which is related to the
FDIC’s procurement process. The
remaining hours in this information
collection, which have been updated
and increased, reflect the burden
imposed on banks and other members of
the public in connection with
innovation pilot programs.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the collection of information is

Frm 00049

necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimate of the
burden of the information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.
