Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 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 information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(i), 302, 303, 303(r), and 307. Total Annual Burden: 5,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).

The Commission has established rules for the marketing of radio frequency (RF) devices prior to equipment authorization under guidelines in 47 CFR Section 2.803. The general guidelines in Section 2.803 prohibit the marketing or sale of such equipment prior to a demonstration of compliance with the applicable equipment authorization and technical requirements in the case of a device subject to verification or Declaration of Conformity without special notification. Section 2.803(c)(2) permits limited marketing activities prior to equipment authorization, for devices that could be authorized under the current rules; could be authorized under waivers of such rules that are in effect at the time of marketing; or could be authorized under rules that have been adopted by the Commission but that have not yet become effective. These devices may be not operated unless permitted by section 2.805. The following general guidelines apply for third party notifications: (a) A RF device may be advertised and displayed at a trade show or exhibition prior to a demonstration of compliance with the applicable technical standards and compliance with the applicable equipment authorization procedure provided the advertising and display is accompanied by a conspicuous notice [[Page 14512]] specified in Section 2.803(c)(2)(iii)(A) or Section 2.803(c)(2)(iii)(B). (b) An offer for sale solely to business, commercial, industrial, scientific, or medical users of an RF device in the conceptual, developmental, design or pre-production stage prior to demonstration of compliance with the equipment authorization regulations may be permitted provided that the prospective buyer is advised in writing at the time of the offer for sale that the equipment is subject to FCC rules and that the equipment will comply with the appropriate rules before delivery to the buyer or centers of distribution. (c) Equipment sold as evaluation kit may be sold to specific users with notice specified in Section 2.803(c)(2)(iv)(B). The information to be disclosed about marketing of the RF device is intended: (1) To ensure the compliance of the proposed equipment with Commission rules; and (2) To assist industry efforts to introduce new products to the marketplace more promptly. The information disclosure applies to a variety of RF devices that: (1) Is pending equipment authorization or verification of compliance; (2) May be manufactured in the future; (3) May be sold as kits; and (4) Operates under varying technical standards. The information disclosed is essential to ensuring that interference to radio communications is controlled. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
