The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission announces that it is updating the FCC's Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Text-to-911 Readiness and Certification Registry listing PSAPs that are ready to receive text-to-911 messages.

This Public Notice provides notice to Commercial Mobile Radio Service providers and other providers of interconnected text messaging services of the effective readiness date of those PSAPs for which the Bureau has received the updated information. Pursuant to the FCC's text-to-911 rules, covered text providers must begin routing 911 text messages to requesting PSAPs within six months of this notice date. Also, the Bureau reminds covered text providers that they should periodically review the text-readiness of PSAPs in their service areas and reach out to these PSAPs as necessary to coordinate implementation of text-to-911 service.
