Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

October 19, 2005.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s), as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 104-13. An agency 
may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid 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 that does not display a valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before January 3, 2006. 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.

ADDRESSES: You may submit your Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0398.
    Title: Equipment Authorization Measurement Standards, 47 CFR 
Sec. Sec.  2.948 and 15.117(g)(2).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 320.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 to 30 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; One-time, three year, and on 
occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,100 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission uses this information to ensure that 
data accompanying all requests for equipment authorization are valid, 
and that proper testing procedures are used. Testing ensures that 
potential interference to radio communications is controlled, and if 
necessary, the data may be used for investigating complaints or harmful 
interference, or for verifying the manufacturer's compliance with FCC 
rules. The Commission eliminated the necessity for manufacturers to 
file UHF noise figure data documenting the performance of TV receivers 
tested and marketed in the U.S. in ET Docket 95-144.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0436.
    Title: Equipment Authorization--Cordless Telephone Security Coding.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; One time and on occasion 
reporting requirements; Third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 150 hours.
    Total Estimated Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requires that cordless telephone 
security features protect the public switched telephone network from 
unintentional line seizure and telephone dialing. These features 
prevent unauthorized access to the telephone line, the dialing of calls 
in response to signals other than those from the owner's handset and 
the unintentional ringing of a cordless telephone handset. Use of the 
cordless telephone security features reduces the harm caused by some 
cordless telephones to the ``911'' Emergency Service Telephone System 
and the telephone network in general.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0387.
    Title: Section 15.201(d), On Site Verification of Field Disturbance 
Sensors.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 18 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; One and on occasion reporting 
requirements; Third party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,600 hours.
    Total Estimated Cost: $40,000.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: Commission rules permit the operation of field 
disturbance sensors in the low VHF region of the spectrum. In order to 
monitor non-licensed field disturbance sensors operating in the low VHF 
television bands, a unique procedure for on-site equipment testing of 
the systems is required to ensure suitable safeguards for the operation 
of these devices. Data are retained by the holder of the equipment 
authorized/issued by the Commission and made available only at the 
request of the Commission.
