§  9.5   Transition to 911 as the universal emergency telephone number.

   As of December 11, 2001, except where 911 is already established as the
   exclusive emergency number to reach a PSAP within a given jurisdiction,
   telecommunications carriers shall comply with the following transition
   periods:

   (a) Where a PSAP has been designated, telecommunications carriers shall
   complete all translation and routing necessary to deliver 911 calls to
   a PSAP no later than September 11, 2002.

   (b) Where no PSAP has been designated, telecommunications carriers
   shall complete all translation and routing necessary to deliver 911
   calls to the statewide default answering point no later than September
   11, 2002.

   (c) Where neither a PSAP nor a statewide default answering point has
   been designated, telecommunications carriers shall complete the
   translation and routing necessary to deliver 911 calls to an
   appropriate local emergency authority, within nine months of a request
   by the State or locality.

   (d) Where no PSAP nor statewide default answering point has been
   designated, and no appropriate local emergency authority has been
   selected by an authorized state or local entity, telecommunications
   carriers shall identify an appropriate local emergency authority, based
   on the exercise of reasonable judgment, and complete all translation
   and routing necessary to deliver 911 calls to such appropriate local
   emergency authority no later than September 11, 2002.

   (e) Once a PSAP is designated for an area where none had existed as of
   December 11, 2001, telecommunications carriers shall complete the
   translation and routing necessary to deliver 911 calls to that PSAP
   within nine months of that designation.
