Boulder Seeks Recon of 911 Fee Diversion Order

Colorado’s Boulder Regional Emergency Telephone Service Authority asked the FCC to reconsider parts of its June 911 fee diversion order, said a petition posted Friday in docket 20-291 (see 2106250049). BRETSA said the finding that it can determine whether a jurisdiction is diverting fees based on survey responses was a "misreading" of Don't Break Up the T-Band Act Section 902. It asked the commission to reconsider holding states responsible for localities that may be diverting fees, which the FCC panel agreed with Friday for a report to Congress (see 2109170023). BRETSA said not providing a "grace period" for jurisdictions to comply with new rules is "placing them in immediate violation of the rules and frustrating, rather than supporting Congress intent."
