This document is a summary of the Commission's Report and Order. The Report and Order adopted rules to more precisely route wireless 911 calls and Real-Time Texts (RTT) to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), which can result in faster response times during emergencies. Wireless 911 calls have historically been routed to PSAPs based on the location of the cell tower that handles the call. Sometimes, however, the 911 call is routed to the wrong PSAP because the cell tower is not in the same jurisdiction as the 911 caller. This can happen, for instance, when an emergency call is placed near a county border. These misrouted 911 calls must be transferred from one PSAP to another, which consumes time and resources and can cause confusion and delay in emergency response. The Report and Order requires wireless providers to deploy technology that supports location-based routing, a method that relies on precise information about the location of the wireless caller's device, on their internet Protocol (IP)-based networks and to use location-based routing to route 911 voice calls and RTT communications to 911 originating on those networks when caller location is accurate and timely. The Report and Order provides six months for nationwide wireless providers to implement location-based routing for wireless 911 voice calls and provides 24 months for non-nationwide wireless providers to implement location-based routing of wireless 911 voice calls.

The Board expects the Reserve Banks to implement this expansion in 2028 or 2029 to ensure technological, operational, and industry readiness. The decision to expand operating hours is intended to support a wide range of payment activities, as well as the U.S. dollar's key role in global commerce and the international financial system. Further, the planned expansion to 22x6 operating hours will serve as an interim step and provide the necessary foundational capability for the Reserve Banks to expand operating hours up to 22x7x365 in the future. The Board will monitor industry demand and will stand ready to offer an additional expansion up to 22x7x365 no sooner than two years after the Reserve Banks implement 22x6 operations.
