On October 17, 2012, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 12-129, adopting rules to implement the statutory provisions of section 6507 of the Tax Relief Act. Specifically, the Commission adopted rules that establish a specialized PSAP Do-Not-Call registry and prohibit the use of autodialers to contact those registered numbers for non-emergency purposes. These include requirements for adding PSAP telephone numbers to the registry, granting and tracking access by operators of automatic dialing equipment (OADEs), and protecting the registry from unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of registered PSAP numbers. In addition, the Commission adopted the specific monetary penalties contained in section 6507(c) of the Tax Relief Act for violations of the rules prohibiting contact and disclosure of the numbers on the registry.
The Commission is submitting this collection as a new collection. Therefore, the following program changes will be added to OMB's inventory: +106,500 number of respondents, +1,446,333 annual number of responses, +792,667 annual burden hours; and $0 annual cost.
