    Title: Sections 2.948 and 15.117(g)(2), Equipment Authorization 
Measurement Standards.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 725 respondents; 725 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 hours - 30 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and every three year reporting 
requirement and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
CFR sections 4(i), 302, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), 303(r), and 309(a).
    Total Annual Burden: 21,160 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a minimal exemption 
from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), 47 CFR 
0.459(d) of the Commission's rules, that is granted for trade secrets, 
which may be submitted to the Commission as part of the documentation 
of the test results. No other assurances of confidentiality are 
provided to respondents.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is now requesting a revision 
(program change) and an adjustment of the burden estimates for this 
information collection. The reporting requirements for accreditation 
bodies is being added and the number of testing facilities filing a 
test site description is being increased. The latter increase is 
necessary to reflect the significant number of laboratories filing test 
site descriptions. This increase has been observed in the recent past, 
and is in large part due to Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) signed 
by various foreign economic entities that allow for the testing of 
equipment in these MRA partner economies, by testing facilities filing 
site descriptions under 47 CFR 2.948 of the Commission's rules, prior 
to submittal of equipment for authorization. A change in the 
Commission's burden estimates is therefore being requested.
    The Commission will submit this revised information collection to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during this comment period to 
obtain the full three year clearance from them. The Commission is 
reporting a 60 hour program change increase and a 12,000 hour increase 
adjustment.


Federal Communications Commission.
