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 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,

    Needs and Uses: The equipment authorization procedure requires that 
equipment manufacturers or equipment suppliers test a product to ensure 
compliance with technical standards for limiting radio frequency 
emissions and include a declaration of compliance (DoC) with the 
standards in the literature furnished with the equipment. This 
statement of conformity and supporting technical data would be made 
available to the FCC by the responsible party, at the request of the 
FCC. Further, the FCC will permit personal computers to be authorized 
based on tests and approval of their individual components, without 
further testing of the completed assembly. Testing and documentation of 
compliance aids in controlling potential interference to radio 
communications. The data may be used for investigating complaints of 
harmful interference; to determine that the equipment marketed complies 
with the applicable FCC Rules; and to insure that the operation of the 
equipment is consistent with the initially documented test results.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
