Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission)
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the following information collections.
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 collection burden on 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 PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 6,
2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

Total Annual Burden: 324,470 hours.

Privacy Impact Assessment: This information collection affects
individuals or households; thus, there are impacts under the Privacy

information and the R&O directs carriers to protect the information to
the extent it is considered Customer Proprietary Network Information
(CPNI).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On September 19, 2014, the Federal Communications
Commission (Commission or FCC) adopted an Order on Reconsideration in
WT Docket No. 10-4, FCC No. 14-138, in which it took the following
action, among others: Required that Consumer Signal Boosters certified
for fixed operation only be labeled to notify consumers that such
devices may only be used in fixed, in-building locations. Therefore,
the new labeling requirement which requires OMB review and approval is
as follows:
The labeling requirement is covered under 47 section
20.21(f)(1)(iv)(A)(2). The new requirement is needed in order to ensure
that consumers are properly informed about which devices are suitable
for their use and how to comply with our rules, the Commission required
that all Consumer Signal Boosters certified for fixed, in-building
operation include a label directing consumers that the device may only
be operated in a fixed, in-building location. The Verizon Petitioners
state that this additional labeling requirement is necessary to inform
purchasers of fixed Consumer Signal Boosters that they may not lawfully
be installed and operated in a moving vehicle or outdoor location. We
recognize that our labeling requirement imposes additional costs on
entities that manufacture Consumer Signal Boosters; however, on
balance, we find that such costs are outweighed by the benefits of
ensuring that consumers purchase appropriate devices. Accordingly, all
fixed Consumer Signal Boosters, both Provider-Specific and Wideband,
manufactured or imported on or after one year from the effective date
of the rule change must include the following advisory (1) in on-line
point-of-sale marketing materials, (2) in any print or on-line owner's
manual and installation instructions, (3) on the outside packaging of
the device, and (4) on a label affixed to the device: ``This device may
be operated ONLY in a fixed location for in-building use.''
