FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority 5 CFR 1320.9
March 28, 1995.
The Federal Communications Commission is reviewing the following
information collection requirements for possible 3-year extension under
delegated authority 5 CFR 1320.9, authority delegated to the Commission
by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on October 6, 1994. These
collections were all previously approved by OMB and are unchanged.
Public comments are invited on any of these collections for a period
ending [thirty days from the date of publication in the Federal
Register.] Persons wishing to comment on these information collections
should contact Dorothy Conway, Federal Communications Commission, 1919
M Street NW Room 242-B, Washington, DC 20554. You may also send
comments via Internet to DConway@fcc.gov. Upon approval FCC will
forward supporting material and copies of these collections to OMB.
Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M
Street, NW, Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For
further information on these submissions contact Dorothy Conway,
Federal Communications Commission, (202) 418-0217.
OMB Number: 3060-0422.
Title: Section 68.5 Waivers (Application Waiver of Hearing Aid
Compatibility Requirement).
Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.

Needs and Uses: Section 710(b) of the Communications Act requires
that almost all telephones manufactured or imported into the country
after August 16, 1989 be hearing aid compatible. Congress recognized
however, that there may be technological and/or economic reasons why
some new telephones may not meet the hearing aid compatibility
requirement. Therefore, it provided for a waiver requirement for new
telephones based on these grounds. Section 68.5 of the Commission rules
provide the criteria for assess these waivers. Upon receipt of a waiver
request the Commission will determine the merits of the requests and
whether the public interest is served by granting a waiver.

or who are not subject to Sections 61.41 and 61.49 of the Commission's

is used by the Commission and the Department of State to identify
entities which are operating in the name of the U.S, extract from them
a promise to obey the ITU Convention and regulations and determine
whether they are owned by a foreign government, foreign communications
entity or any other foreign entity in the position to discriminate

160 microsecond of time equal to or greater than 10 -4 watts at any
point in the cable distribution system on any new frequency or
frequencies in the aeronautical frequency bands. This information is
