Communications Commission

June 8, 1999.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, 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 August 13, 
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0436.
    Title: Equipment Authorization--Cordless Telephone Security Coding.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated time per response: 1 hour.
    Total Annual Burden: 200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,800.
    Needs and Uses: Cordless telephone security features protect the 
public switched telephone network from unintentional line seizure and 
telephone dialing. These features prevent unauthorized access to the 
telephone line, the dialing of calls in response to signals other than 
those from the owner's handset and the unintentional ringing of a 
cordless telephone handset. Use of the cordless telephone security 
features reduces the harm caused by some cordless telephones to the 
``911'' Emergency Service Telephone System and the telephone network in 
general.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0387.
    Title: On-Site Verificaton of Field Disturbance Sensors--Section

    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated time per response: 18 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,600 hours.

    Needs and Uses: Commission rules permit the operation of field 
disturbance sensors in the low VHF region of the spectrum. In order to 
monitor non-licensed field disturbance sensors operating in the low VHF 
television bands, a unique procedure for on-site equipment testing of 
the systems is required to ensure suitable safeguards for the operation 
of these devices. Data is retained by the holder of the equipement 
authorized issued by the Commssion and made available only at the 
request of the Commission.
