Initial 911 Governance Comments Due in March

Comments are due March 9, replies April 7, on a Nov. 21 NPRM on governance and oversight of 911 service in light of the IP transition, said a Thursday FCC Public Safety Bureau public notice. "The American public has developed certain expectations with respect to the availability of 911 and E911 emergency services, and Commission action is both appropriate and necessary where reliance on voluntary efforts alone proves inadequate to ensure reliable and resilient 911 service,” the FCC said in the NPRM.
