during this 30 day comment period in order to obtain the full three 
year clearance. There is no change to the FCC Form 740 or its 
associated requirements.
    The FCC working in conjunction with the U.S. Customs Service is 
responsible for the regulation of both authorized radio services and 
devices that can cause harmful interference. FCC Form 740 must be 
completed for each radio frequency device which is being 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 is submitted to the U.S. Customs Service and Border 
Patrol electronically or in a few cases paper format. The FCC Form 740 
is not submitted to the Federal Communications Commission. When a 
violation is discovered, the FCC can issue a fine. If a product is 
suspected of illegal entry, the FCC works with the U.S. Customs Service 
to resolve the issue.

Federal Communications Commission.

Director.
