FCC May OK 911 Fee Diversion Order This Week

The FCC is expected to issue an order this week on 911 fee diversion, officials told us Monday. Commissioners approved an NPRM in February that defines 911 fee usage and what constitutes diversion (see 2102170049). Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel circulated the new draft order June 8. The commission is required to issue final rules on 911 fee diversion by June 25 under Section 902 of the Don't Break Up the T-Band Act of 2020. The order is in its final stages and largely adopts the NPRM's language, one official said. A agency spokesperson didn't comment.
