Hollings Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. Chairman The Honorable John D. Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Federal Communications Commission: Wireless Radio Services; Compatibility With Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), entitled Wireless Radio Services; Compatibility With Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems (CC Docket No. 94-102; FCC 99-352). We received the rule on January 18, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on December 29, 1999. 64 Fed. Reg. 72951. The final rule resolves various issues and clarifies the wireless Enhanced 911 rules to address delays being experienced in the implementation of Phase I and to assure the timely implementation of Phase II. The final rule, among other changes, revises the E911 rules to remove the prerequisite that a cost recovery mechanism be in place before a carrier is obligated to provide the service in response to a valid Public Safety Answering Point service request. Enclosed is our assessment of the FCC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that the FCC complied with the applicable requirements. If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO GAO/OGC-00-20
