As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

[OMB 3060-0059]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of

[[Page 76285]]

information technology; and ways to further reduce the information 
collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees.
    The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February 
8, 2016. 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 PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0059.
    Title: Statement Regarding the Importation of Radio Frequency 
Devices Capable of Harmful Interference.
    Form No.: FCC Form 740.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10,000 respondents, 2,000,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 30 seconds (.0084 hours).
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement and third-
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 
47 U.S.C. sections 154(i), 157(a), 302(a), (303(b), 303(f), (303(g) and 
303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 33,600 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: No Costs.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There are no confidentiality 
issues.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them.
    The FCC is responsible for the regulation of both authorized radio 
services and devices that can cause interference. The FCC, working in 
conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), is 
responsible for ensuring that radio frequency devices imported into the 
United States are properly authorized. FCC Form 740 must be completed 
for each radio frequency device which is imported into the United 
States, and is used to keep non-compliant devices from being 
distributed to the general public, thereby reducing the potential for 
harmful interference being caused to authorized communications. FCC 
Form 740 is submitted to CBP electronically or, in a few cases, in 
paper format. The FCC Form 740 is not submitted to the Federal 
Communications Commission. FCC works with the CBP to resolve issues 
related to the importation of unauthorized radio frequency devices, and 
can issue fines for violation of its rules.
    This information collection extension does not affect the ongoing 
rulemaking in ET Docket 15-170, which includes proposed rules that 
would modify or eliminate FCC Form 740.
