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, Pub. L. 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 November 29, 
2002. 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: 3060-0532.
    Title: Scanning Receiver Compliance Exhibit, Section 2.1033 (b)(10) 
and Section 15.121.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households; Not-for-profit 
institutions; Business or other for-profit entities; Federal 
Government; and State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; On occasion reporting 
requirement; Third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.
    Total Estimated Cost: $2,000.
    Needs and Uses: The FCC rules under 47 CFR 2.1033(b)(10) require 
manufacturers of scanning receivers to design their equipment so that: 
it has 38 dB of image rejection for Cellular Service frequencies, 
tuning, control, and filtering circuitry are inaccessible, and any 
attempt to modify the scanning receiver to receive Cellular Service 
transmissions will likely render the scanning receiver inoperable. The 
Commission also requires manufacturers to submit information with any 
application for certification that describes: the testing method used 
to determine compliance with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, the 
design features that prevent modification of the scanning receiver to 
receive Cellular Service transmissions, and the design steps taken to 
make tuning, control, and filtering circuitry inaccessible. 
Furthermore, the FCC requires equipment to carry a statement assessing 
the vulnerability of the scanning receiver to modification and to have 
a label affixed to the scanning receiver, similar to the following:
    Warning: Modification of this device to receive cellular 
radiotelephone service signals is prohibited under FCC Rules and 
Federal Law.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
