designated, telecommunications carriers shall complete the translation and

authority, within nine months of a request by the State or locality.
(d) Where no PSAP nor statewide default answering point has been designated,
and no appropriate local emergency authority has been selected by an

reasonable judgment, and complete all translation and routing necessary to
deliver 911 calls to such appropriate local emergency authority no later
