FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted to OMB
for Review and Approval
August 16, 1999
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commissions, 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 September 23,
1999. 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.

Commission, Room 1-A804, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0636
Title: Equipment Authorization--Declaration of Compliance,
Amendment of Parts 2 and 15.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Reinstatement without change of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Estimate Time Per Response: 19 hours (avg.).
Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; Single reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 76,000 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $1,200,000.
Needs and Uses: The new equipment authorization procedure requires
that a manufacturer or equipment supplier test a product to ensure
compliance with technical standards for limiting radio frequency
emissions and include a declaration of compliance (DoC) with the
standards in the literature furnished with the equipment. This
statement of compliance and supporting technical data would be made
available to the FCC by the responsible party, at the request of the
FCC. Further, the FCC will permit personal computers to be authorized
based on tests and approval of their individual components, without
further testing of the completed assembly. Testing and documentation of
compliance aids in controlling potential interference to radio
communications. The data may be used for investigating complaints of
harmful interference; to determine that the equipment marketed complies
with the applicable Commission Rules; and to insure that the operation
of the equipment is consistent with the initially documented test
results.
Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
