Caton x` ` hh@Acting Secretary"!:0*((` "  ?<' APPENDIX A ă  ?<  INITIAL REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS ă   ? < Reason for Action : This Notice of Proposed Rule Making responds to the petitions submitted by Texas Advisory Commission on State Emergency Communications (TXACSEC) and Adcomm Engineering Company to address issues raised by the provision of enhanced 911 services through commercial mobile radio systems, private branch exchanges, and similar equipment. Telephone stations for wireless services and wireline stations served by PBX equipment are not adequately identifying caller location to permit a timely response by emergency services personnel.  ? < Objectives : The objective of this proposal is ensure access to enhanced 911 emergency systems on the public switched telephone network for callers served by private branch exchanges other dispersed private telephone systems, and for callers served by certain mobile services.  ?< Legal Basis : The proposed action is authorized under Sections 1, 4, 5, 201205, 208, 215, 218, 226, 227, 302, 303, 313, 314, 332, 403, 404, 410, 602 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154, 155, 2015, 208, 215, 218, 226, 227, 302, 303, 313, 314, 332, 403, 404, 410, 602.  ?P< Reporting, Record Keeping and Other Compliance Requirements : Private branch exchanges and other dispersed private telephone systems will be required to maintain records for calling number identification, caller location identification, and a callback numbers for each of their calling stations. Commercial mobile radio services will be required to identify the location of mobile transmitters and provide call back numbers for them. Equipment used for private branch exchanges and other dispersed private systems and commercial mobile radio services will have to be capable of providing this information to the local telephone exchanges to which they are connected. Local telephone exchanges will incur costs storing and relaying this information to enhanced 911 public service answering points.  ?@< Federal Rules Which Overlap, Duplicate or Conflict With These  ? <Rules : None.  ?`"< Description, Potential Impact and Number of Small Entities  ?(#<Involved : The proposed changes in the regulations would affect a number of entities both large and small. An estimate of such  ?$<parties affected is approximately 65 million new wireless services users and approximately 4 million PBX equipment  ?H&<manufacturers and owners.  ?'< "'":0*((/"ԌAny Significant Alternatives Minimizing the Impact on Small  ?<Entities Consistent with Stated Objectives : With respect to PBX equipment, the NPRM asks whether the proposed rules must be applied where the equipment serves a physically small location, such as a single story building, or a small number of closely situated telephone stations.
