S.C. Code Regs. § § 19-202

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 10, October 25, 2024

Section 19-202 - Preliminary Review and Approval

The Act requires a government entity that seeks funding for a 9-1-1 system to submit to DIRM a system plan for review and approval. It is recognized that much of the information needed to properly document the proposed 9-1-1 system may not be available in the beginning stages of the planning process, at which time, up to 30 months prior to system implementation, certain levels of funding may be required, as provided for in the Act. For this reason DIRM may grant preliminary approval based on information and estimates available at the beginning of the planning cycle. Such preliminary approval shall allow funding mechanisms to be activated so not to unduly hamper system development. The remaining items of information detailed below will be required as they become available, and a complete and final plan must be submitted and approved prior to 9-1-1 system implementation. The following items of information will suffice to allow an initial review of a 9-1-1 system plan. Corresponding actual, final, and complete information must replace all estimated, partial, and incomplete information prior to 9-1-1 system implementation.

A. A document outlining and describing proposed agreements, understandings, duties and obligations, and activities associated with the intended contractual relationship between the government entity making application and telephone service supplier(s) whose equipment, facilities, and services will be required for system implementation and operation. This document must contain information specified in items 203 H(1) through 203 H(6) below; and

B. A determination, with justification, of the type of 9-1-1 system planned, as Enhanced 9-1-1 (E911) or Basic 9-1-1, as specified in subsection 203 A below, and a statement of responsibility, as specified in subsection 203 B below; and

C. A listing of all public safety agents and other service providers, as specified in subsection 203 D below; and

D. A preliminary system description based on estimates of information specified in items 203 I(1) through 203 I(4) below; and

E. A description of the existing public telephone system within the PCA, as specified in item 203 I(5) below; and

F. A mapping and addressing plan covering the entire PCA, as specified in subsection 203 J below; and

G. A plan for public instruction in 9-1-1 capabilities and usage, as specified in subsection 203 L below; and

H. A preliminary budget plan containing estimates of cost and revenue figures specified in subsection 203 O below.
