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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0387.
    Title: On Site Verification of Field Disturbance Sensors--Section 
15.201(d).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 18 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; one time and on occasion 
reporting requirement; third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,600 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $40,000.
    Needs and Uses: FCC rules permit the operation of field disturbance 
sensors in the low VHF region of the spectrum. 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 are retained by the holder of the equipment authorized/
issued by the FCC and made available only at the request of the 
Commission.
    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: 100.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; one time and on-occasion 
reporting requirements; third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 150 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Needs and Uses: The FCC requires 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.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
