   that  will  be  required. Where relevant, these reports should include
   descriptions of the steps the service providers intend to take to ensure
   diversity and dependability in their 911 and E911 networks and/or systems,
   including any plans they have to migrate those networks and/or systems to a
   next generation Internet Protocol-based E911 platform.

   (b) These reports are due 120 days from the date that the Commission or its
   staff announces activation of the 911 network and system reporting process.

   (c) Reports filed under this Part will be presumed to be confidential. These
   reports will be shared with The National Emergency Number Association, The
   Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, and The National
   Association of State 9–1–1 Administrators only pursuant to a protective
   order. PSHSB has the delegated authority to issue such protective orders.
   All other access to these reports must be sought pursuant to procedures set
   forth  in 47 CFR 0.461. Notice of any requests for inspection of these
   reports will be provided to the filers of the reports pursuant to 47 CFR
