The FCC Public Safety Bureau sought comment on its fifth annual Report to Congress on State Collection and Distribution of 911 and Enhanced 911 Fees and Charges. The report is required by the NET 911 Act, which became law in 2008. The act “requires, among other things, that the Commission report whether 911 fees and charges collected by the states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and Indian territories (states and other reporting entities) are being used for any purpose other than to support 911 and Enhanced 911 (E911) services,” the bureau said Friday (http://bit.ly/1dVat92). “With this Public Notice, the Commission formally solicits public comment on the Fifth Report, the information provided to the Commission by states and other reporting entities, and the reported expenditure of funds for Next Generation 911 ... services.” Comments are due Feb. 24, replies March 24.
