Ensure Compatibility With Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems

In this document, the Commission denies in part, and grants in part, a Petition from OnStar Corporation (OnStar). The action is necessary to clarify that OnStar telematics units that provide a Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) personal calling service are handsets or mobile phones in accordance with part 20 of the Commission's rules. The Commission also grants a temporary, conditional waiver of its E911 Phase II rules, including the equipment activation requirements, as they apply to wireless licensees that furnish the underlying wireless service for OnStar analog and first generation digital telematics units installed in OnStar equipped vehicles prior to December 31, 2005. The waiver allows OnStar and its wireless carrier partners a reasonable period to continue their cooperative effort to adjust the performance of OnStar's digital equipment.
