    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 10 respondents; 20 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 20 hours.

    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 154(i), 301, 
302, 303(e), 303(f), and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
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 from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no 
change in the reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements) of this 
information collection. The Commission is reporting no change in their 
burden estimates.
    Section 15.240 requires each grantee of certification for Radio 
Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment to register the location of 
the equipment/devices it markets with the Commission. The information 
that the grantee must supply to the Commission when registering the 
device(s) shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact 
information of users, the geographic coordinates of the operating 
location, the FCC identification number(s) of the equipment. The 
improved RFID equipment could benefit commercial shippers and have 
significant homeland security benefits by enabling the entire contents 
of shipping containers to be easily and immediately identified, and by 
allowing a determination of whether tampering with their contents has 
occurred during shipping.

Secretary.
