SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following

failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the

number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0936.
    Title: Sections 95.1215, 95.1217, 95.1223 and 95.1225--Medical 
Device Radiocommunications Service (MedRadio).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 3,120 respondents; 3,120 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third 
party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151 and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,120 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $462,600.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No information is requested 
that would require assurance of confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 30 
day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance 
from them. The Commission is requesting a revision (there has been a 
program change in the reporting, recordkeeping requirements and/or 
third party disclosure requirements, the number of respondents/
operators increased from 100 to 2,620, therefore, the annual burden and 
cost has also increased). The Commission is requesting OMB approval for 
a revision.
    On May 24, 2012, the Commission released a Report and Order, ET 
Docket No. 08-59, FCC 12-54, Amendment of Parts 2 and 95 of the 
Commission's rules which revised the requirements for manufacturers of 
transmitters for the ``Medical Device Radiocommunication Service'' to 
include with each transmitting device a statement regarding harmful 
interference and to label the device in a conspicuous location on the 
device. The Report and Order also adopted rules for ``Medical Body Area 
Network'' (MBAN), which requires the Commission to establish a process 
by which MBAN users will register and coordinate the use of certain 
medical devices. The frequency coordinator will make the database 
available to equipment manufacturers and the public. The coordinator 
will also notify users of potential frequency conflicts.

Federal Communications Commission.
