and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), 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

failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of

for the regulations of both authorized radio services and devices that 
can cause interference. FCC Form 740 must be completed for each radio 
frequency device that is imported into the United States. Examples of 
radio frequency (RF) devices include: Microwave ovens, computer 
microprocessors, computers, computer peripherals, telephones with 
memory or other advanced features, video cameras, recorders, 
transmitters, electronic musical instruments, video games, radio remote 
control toys, etc. The purpose of the information collection 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.
