Last month we reported on a new set of rigorous reporting requirements to which 911 system service providers will be subject. The Commission’s Report and Order laying out the new requirements has now been published in the Federal Register, which means that they will become effective as of February 18, 2014 – EXCEPT FOR new Sections 12.4(c) and (d)(1). Those sections – which include the specs for the new Annual Reliability Certification and Initial Reliability Certification – involve new “information collections” which must be run through the Paperwork Reduction Act drill before they can take effect. That process generally takes several months to complete. Check back here for updates.
