SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden, invites the general

on the following information collection(s), as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 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 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before October 23, 2006. 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.

must be completed for each radio frequency device, which is imported 
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 be filed on paper or electronically via the FCC's Internet 
portal.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Secretary.
