FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). Comments are requested 
concerning: 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; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the 
information burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 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 OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before December 27, 2013. 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.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via Internet at 
[email protected] and to Benish Shah, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected]. To 
submit your PRA comments by email send them to: [email protected].

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 Estimated Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    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 three year 
clearance. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in 
reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements) of this information 
collection.
    Section 15.240 requires each grantee of certification for Radio 
Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment to register the location of 
the equipment/devices its 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, and 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.
