RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

60FF1-5.009E911 Monthly Fee Rate

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The new rule is to determine appropriate E911 monthly fee.

SUMMARY: E911 monthly fee rate.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The Agency has determined that this will have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: A Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) was prepared by Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC. Essentially, the SERC finds that the proposed rule is likely to increase regulatory costs, including transaction costs, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation of the rule. The SERC was based upon a monthly average of wireless, non-wireless, and wireless-prepaid consumers (23,270,055). A good faith estimate of the transactional costs likely to be incurred by individuals and entities, including government entities, required to comply with the rule is $13.9 million annually. The additional fee would provide the counties $11.1 million in revenue to help support E911.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
