In December 2003, the FCC began collecting data to build a registry of public safety answering points (PSAPs). A primary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are routed directly from the 9-1-1 Control Office, such as, a selective router or 9-1-1 tandem. A secondary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are transferred from a primary PSAP. The PSAP database serves as a tool to aid the Commission in evaluating the state of PSAP readiness and E9-1-1 deployment.

Note: The PSAP Registry now includes a column indicating the date on which individual PSAP information was modified.
The Registry lists PSAPs by an FCC assigned identification number, PSAP Name, State, County, City, and provides information on any type of record change and the reason for updating the record. The Commission updates the Registry periodically as it receives additional information. For further information concerning the FCC's Master PSAP Registry and carrier reporting requirements, or to notify the Commission of changes to the PSAP Registry, please send an email to fccpsapregistryupdate@fcc.gov.

Authority: The Commission is authorized to pursue this collection pursuant to the authority contained in 47 U.S.C. §§ 151, 154(i), 251(e).
Purpose: The Commission compiles and maintains a database of Public Safety Answering Points, called the Master PSAP Registry, as part of its effort to support the expeditious implementation of Enhanced 911 (E911) across the nation. Periodically, the Commission sends out letters to state officials requesting specific data to populate the database with accurate information. In addition, 911 Authorities may contact the Commission by sending this form to a designated email address to update the listings in the Master PSAP Registry.
