terminals that are normally powered from local AC commercial power. LECs
that meet the definition of a Class B company as set forth in §32.11(b)(2)

(CLECs); commercial mobile radio service providers required to comply with
the wireless 911 rules set forth in §20.18 of this chapter; and

this chapter, non-nationwide commercial mobile radio service providers with
no more than 500,000 subscribers at the end of 2001, and interconnected VoIP
service providers with annual revenues below the revenue threshold

(a) The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) has the delegated
authority to implement and activate a process through which these reports
will be submitted, including the authority to establish the specific data
that will be required. Where relevant, these reports should include
descriptions of the steps the service providers intend to take to ensure
diversity and dependability in their 911 and E911 networks and/or systems,
including any plans they have to migrate those networks and/or systems to a
next generation Internet Protocol-based E911 platform.
(b) These reports are due 120 days from the date that the Commission or its
staff announces activation of the 911 network and system reporting process.
(c) Reports filed under this Part will be presumed to be confidential. These
reports will be shared with The National Emergency Number Association, The
Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, and The National
Association of State 9–1–1 Administrators only pursuant to a protective
order. PSHSB has the delegated authority to issue such protective orders.
All other access to these reports must be sought pursuant to procedures set
forth in 47 CFR 0.461. Notice of any requests for inspection of these
reports will be provided to the filers of the reports pursuant to 47 CFR
0.461(d)(3).
