NG911 is replacing legacy 911 technology across the country with Internet Protocol (IP)-based infrastructure that will support new 911 capabilities, including text, video, and data. However, for NG911 to be fully effective, NG911 networks must safeguard the reliability of critical components and support the interoperability needed to seamlessly transfer 911 calls and data from one network to another. When the Commission first adopted 911 reliability rules in 2013, the transition to NG911 was in its very early stages. Since then, many state and local 911 Authorities have made significant progress in deploying NG911 capabilities in their jurisdictions. This Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) is the next step in fulfilling the Commission's commitment to facilitate the NG911 transition and to ensure that the transition does not inadvertently create vulnerabilities in the nation's critical public safety networks. The FNPRM proposes to update the definition of \"covered 911 service provider\" in the Commission's existing 911 reliability rules to ensure that the rules apply to service providers that control or operate critical pathways and components in NG911 networks. It also proposes to update the reliability standards for providers of critical NG911 functions to ensure the reliable delivery of 911 traffic to NG911 delivery points, and proposes to establish NG911 interoperability requirements for interstate transfer of 911 traffic between Emergency Services IP Networks (ESInets). In addition, the FNPRM proposes to modify the certification and oversight mechanisms in the current 911 reliability rules to improve reliability and interoperability in NG911 systems while minimizing burdens on service providers, and proposes to empower state and local 911 Authorities to obtain reliability and interoperability certifications directly from covered 911 service providers.","document_number":"2025-09279","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/04/2025-09279/facilitating-implementation-of-next-generation-911-services-ng911-improving-911-reliability","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-06-04/pdf/2025-09279.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-09279.pdf?1748954707","publication_date":"2025-06-04","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"The UTC urges the Commission to modify the <span class=\"match\">certification</span> and reporting requirements of Rule 12.4 by requiring covered 911 service providers to submit <span class=\"match\">certification</span> and <span class=\"match\">compliance</span> information and reports to the Commission's state partners.”).\n \n \n We acknowledge that <span class=\"match\">certifications</span> are presumptively confidential under our existing rules, and CSPs and 911 Authorities must agree to confidentiality for sharing <span class=\"match\">certifications</span>.
