The FCC Public Safety Bureau plans a workshop...

The FCC Public Safety Bureau plans a workshop June 2 to take advice on rules for carriers to submit annual certifications required under the commission’s new 911 reliability rules. In December, the FCC voted to require carriers to file annual audits on how they are following best practices for 911 connections (CD Dec 13 p7). The order followed the 2012 derecho, which led to 911 outages affecting emergency call centers in three states. The workshop is scheduled 1-4 p.m. at FCC headquarters in Washington.
