(a.1) Access.--

(1) A 911 service provider with the ability to originate a 911 call shall provide customer telephone numbers, names, service addresses and geolocation information, where applicable, according to Federal regulations to PSAPs for use in responding to 911 calls.

(2) 911 service providers shall synchronize their customer 911 information with the PSAPs' GIS database layers used for geospatial call routing or with the master street address guide, whichever is applicable, by utilizing the ALI database management and discrepancy reporting systems provided by the NG911 service provider. If a 911 service provider's service location does not match the PSAPs' GIS data for address validation, the 911 service provider must provide the PSAP and appropriate addressing authority any known information about the service location.

(3) A wireless provider shall provide the telephone number and geographical location of the wireless device, as required under the FCC E-911 Order, 47 CFR (relating to telecommunication) and any other applicable Federal law, to PSAPs for use in responding to 911 calls. Customer telephone numbers, names and service addresses and geographical locations of wireless devices shall remain the property of the disclosing wireless provider.

(4) Wireless provider ALI data shall be provided to the PSAPs' selected 911 service provider for purposes of 911 call routing and delivery along with ALI delivery. ALI may be provided directly to the 911 service provider via routine uploads or via a third-party database provider interfaced with the 911 service providers' ALI database. ALI data shall be maintained by the wireless provider and made available to the 911 service provider as required to ensure accurate ALI information is provided to the PSAP.

(5) ALI data shall be provided to 911 service providers and emergency support services, solely for the purposes of delivering or assisting in the delivery of emergency notification services and emergency support services.
