SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0788. Title: DTV Showings/Interference Agreements. Form Number: Not applicable. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 300. Estimated Hours per Response: 5 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 1,500 hours. Total Annual Cost: $2,400,000. Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.623(c) requires applicants to submit a technical showing to establish that their proposed facilities will not result in additional interference to TV broadcast and DTV operations. The Commission permits broadcasters to agree to proposed DTV facilities that do not conform to the initial allotment parameters, even though they might be affected by potential new interference. The Commission will consider granting applications on the basis of interference agreements if it finds that such grants will serve the public interest. These agreements must be signed by all parties to the agreement. In addition, the Commission needs the following information to enable such public interest determinations: A list of parties predicted to receive additional interference from the proposed facility, a showing as to why a grant based on the agreements would serve the public interest, and technical studies depicting the additional interference. The technical showings and interference agreements will be used by FCC staff to determine if the public interest would be served by the grant of the application and to ensure that the proposed facilities will not result in additional interference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control Number: 3060–0057. Title: Application for Equipment Authorization. Form No.: FCC Form 731. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 600 respondents; 600 responses. Estimated Time Per Response: 25 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Total Annual Burden: 250,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: $11,107,500. 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 revision to the OMB after this 60 day comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. On April 23, 2007, the Commission released a Second Report and Order, FCC 07–56, ET Docket No. 03–201. The Commission amended the rules to provide for more efficient equipment authorization of both existing modular transmitter devices and emerging partitioned (or ‘‘split’’) modular transmitter devices in Section 15.212. Single modular transmitters consist of a completely self-contained radio frequency transmitter device that is typically incorporated into another product, host or device. Split modular transmitters consist of two components: a radio front-end with antenna (or radio devices) and a transmitter control element (or specific hardware on which the software that controls the radio operation resides). All single or split modular transmitters are approved with an antenna. The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and if the FCC ID number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: ‘‘Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1’’ or ‘‘Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.’’ Any E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM 25OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 206 / Thursday, October 25, 2007 / Notices similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization (FCC Form 731), or must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must also be included in the FCC Form 731. FCC Form 731 will be modified to accommodate identification and validation of the specific devices approved by this rulemaking. The rule change will benefit manufacturers by allowing greater flexibility in certifying equipment and providing relief from the need to obtain a new equipment authorization each time the same transmitter is installed in a different final product. The rule change in the Second Report and Order will also enable manufacturers to develop more flexible and more advanced unlicensed transmitter technologies. In addition to the rule changes noted above, this requirement is being modified to reflect the growth in the use of the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum for devices subject to equipment authorization. An adjustment is going to be reported to the OMB due to a reduction in the number of respondents filing the FCC Form 731 with the Commission. The number of responses is filed with both the FCC and the Telecommunications Certification Bodies (TCBs) and the total annual cost is reflected in this submission to the OMB.

    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revision to the OMB 
after this 60 day comment period to obtain the full three-year 
clearance from them. On April 23, 2007, the Commission released a 
Second Report and Order, FCC 07-56, ET Docket No. 03-201. The

similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The 
grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be 
included in the application for equipment authorization (FCC Form 731), 
or must provide adequate instructions along with the module which 
explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these 
instructions must be included in the application for equipment 
authorization. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific

to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must 
also be included in the FCC Form 731. FCC Form 731 will be modified to 
accommodate identification and validation of the specific devices 
approved by this rulemaking.
    The rule change will benefit manufacturers by allowing greater 
flexibility in certifying equipment and providing relief from the need 
to obtain a new equipment authorization each time the same transmitter 
is installed in a different final product. The rule change in the 
Second Report and Order will also enable manufacturers to develop more

    In addition to the rule changes noted above, this requirement is 
being modified to reflect the growth in the use of the Radio Frequency

adjustment is going to be reported to the OMB due to a reduction in the 
number of respondents filing the FCC Form 731 with the Commission. The 
number of responses is filed with both the FCC and the 
Telecommunications Certification Bodies (TCBs) and the total annual 
cost is reflected in this submission to the OMB.
