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(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 current 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.

into the United States, and is used to keep non-compliant devices from 
being distributed to the general public, thereby reducing the potential 
for harmful interference being caused to authorized communications. FCC 
Form 740 may now be filed on paper or by electronic means.

contains a conspicuous notice as specified at 47 CFR Section 2.803(c). 
A notice must also accompany RF prototype equipment devices offered for

comply with FCC rules prior to delivery. This information informs third 
parties of the FCC's requirement for the responsible party to comply 
with its rules.
