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 be designed to safeguard the reliability of critical components and support the interoperability needed to seamlessly transfer 911 calls and data from one network to another. The rules require entities essential to delivering emergency calls in the NG911 environment to implement common sense measures to safeguard the reliability of NG911 networks and reduce the risk of 911 outages, and require certain entities to report on their support for NG911 interoperability. The rules also eliminate unnecessary and burdensome legacy rules to increase flexibility and encourage technical innovation to make NG911 services reliable, interoperable, and accessible to all.","document_number":"2026-13998","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/10/2026-13998/facilitating-implementation-of-next-generation-911-services-ng911-improving-911-reliability","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-07-10/pdf/2026-13998.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-13998.pdf?1783601118","publication_date":"2026-07-10","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":"Call Routing Functions (ECRFs), and related technologies that enable the real-time provision of 911 caller location information to PSAPs (together, NGCS Location Facilities).\n 47 \n \n The LVF is a server that validates civic location information <span class=\"match\">against</span> a Geographic Information System (GIS) database to <span class=\"match\">deliver</span> more dynamic and actionable information about a caller's location than legacy ALI/ANI databases can, and the ECRF is a database function that determines the appropriate destination PSAP by mapping the caller's validated location within the boundaries"},{"title":"Medicare Program: Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems; and Quality Reporting Programs; Including the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program and Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Program; Request for Information on Strengthening the Standardization and Comparability of Hospital Price Transparency (HPT) Data; Prior Authorization; Accrediting Organization (AO) Deeming for Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA); and Notices of Closure of Teaching Hospitals and Opportunities To Apply for Available Slots","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"This proposed rule would revise the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and the Medicare Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) payment system for calendar year 2027 based on our continuing experience with these systems.

The consequence today of applying such EPFD limits in the United States is that operators must overprotect GSO systems, which in turn means that American households and businesses-- most critically in rural and remote areas--do not receive the fastest space-based NGSO satellite broadband American innovation has available. Based on the technical record in this proceeding, the Order replaces the EPFD framework with modern, performance-based GSO protection criteria. The Order extends the Commission's framework for good-faith coordination and allow NGSO and GSO operators to bargain for appropriate interference protections through voluntary, private agreement. The Order further adopts technical backstops to protect GSO systems when coordination has not been reached.","document_number":"2026-09565","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/13/2026-09565/modernizing-spectrum-sharing-for-satellite-broadband","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-13/pdf/2026-09565.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09565.pdf?1778589924","publication_date":"2026-05-13","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":"roughly 3% degradation in throughput and the impact on non-<span class=\"match\">performance</span>-affecting static “reserve capacity”—a hypothetical concept contemplated in the 1990s that is ill-defined and does not reflect how actual ACM systems operate.
