FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted To Office Of 
Management And Budget For Review

May 31, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    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 Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 632-0276. Persons wishing to comment 
on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, room 3221 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0059
Title: Statement Regarding the Importation of Radio Frequency Devices 
Capable of Causing Harmful Interference
Form Number: FCC Form 740
Action: Extension of currently approved collection
Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments, 
non-profit institutions, and businesses or other for-profit (including 
small businesses)
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement
Estimated Annual Burden: 496,500 responses; .037 hours average burden 
per response; 18,371 hours total annual burden
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 740 declaration is submitted to the Commission 
and U.S. Customs Service upon importation of radio frequency (RF) 
devices.

    The information collection describes devices being imported that 
may be harmful to authorized radio frequencies so that the FCC, with 
the assistance of Customs, can carry out this responsibility. Examples 
of RF devices include: Microwave ovens, virtually any product 
containing a computer microprocessor, computers and computer 
peripherals, telephones with memory or other advanced features, video 
cameras and recorders, transmitters and transceivers, most receivers 
including television receivers, electronic musical instruments, video 
games, and radio remote control toys. Rule changes in 1990 reduced the 
number and types of devices for which the import declaration is 
required. Those rule changes also has led to the use of electronic 
submission of the required information. Because of the effect of the 
change to electronic filing, the number of paper forms submitted 
annually has dropped by an estimated sixty percent. The information 
continues to be used by FCC to ensure that radio frequency devices 
imported into the United States and its customs territory comply with 
applicable FCC Rules and Regulations. Information is necessary to FCC/
FOB Enforcement Division, FCC Laboratory and U.S. Customs. Purpose is 
to keep non-compliant devices from being distributed to the general 
public thereby reducing the potential for harmful interference being 
caused to authorized communications. When a violation is discovered, 
the FCC can issue a fine or request Customs to issue redelivery notice 
to the importer. If the importer does not redeliver the RF device to 
Customs, the importer is subject to fines imposed by the U.S. Customs 
Service.

OMB Number: 3060-0073
Title: Application for and Certification of Overtime Service Involving 
Inspection of Ship Radio Equipment
Form Number: FCC Form 808
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses)
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement
Estimated Annual Burden: 200 responses; .084 hours average burden per 
response; 17 hours total annual burden
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 808 is used to request an overtime inspection 
of compulsory shipboard radio equipment, pursuant to section 4(f)(3) of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and FCC Rules and 
Regulations, 47 CFR 80.59(e). The information requested certifies that 
the overtime service was requested and performed. If this form were not 
completed, the U.S. Government would not be reimbursed for the overtime 
money paid to the employee.
