Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

October 25, 1999.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information 
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before January 3, 
2000. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., Room 1-A804, Washington, DC 20554 or 
via the Internet to [e-mail].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Public Notice--Medical Telemetry Equipment Operating in the 
450-460 MHz Band.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or not for profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 8.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; one time reporting 
requirement.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 160 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,160.00.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission released a public notice on October 
20, 1999, requesting that parties operating medical telemetry equipment 
in the 450-460 MHz Band assist the Commission by providing certain 
information on their operation. Our equipment authorization records 
show that the majority of medical telemetry equipment operating under 
Part 90 is authorized in the 460-470 MHz portion of the PLMRS bands, 
and that very little operates in the 450-460 MHz portion of the band. 
We are requesting that parties operating medical telemetry equipment in 
the 450-460 MHz band provide certain information on their operation to 
the Commission. This information could help prevent serious 
interference problems in the future.
