SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
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 (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before April 7, 2009. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Applicants may request that

part of the documentation of test results. No other assurances of 
confidentiality are provided to respondents.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 
day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance

requirements). No change in the burden hours and/or annual costs.
    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.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
