Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 17, 2013 / Notices
Commission rules require that
manufacturers of certain radio
frequency (RF) equipment file FCC
Form 731 to obtain approval prior to
marketing their equipment.
Manufacturers may then market their RF
equipment based on a showing of
compliance with technical standards
established in the FCC Rules for each
type of equipment or device operated
under the applicable FCC Rule part. The
following types of equipment are
regulated (a) the RF equipment is
regulated under certain rule sections of
47 CFR Part 15 and Part 18, and (b) in
addition, rules governing certain RF
equipment operating in the licensed
services also require equipment
authorization as established in the
procedural rules in 47 CFR Part 2. The
RF equipment manufacturers comply
with the information collection
requirements by (a) Filing FCC Form
731 electronically with the Commission,
or (b) Submitting the information to a
Telecommunications Certification Body
(TCB), which acts on behalf of the FCC
to issue grants of certification and may
issue grants more expeditiously than the
FCC. The TCBs have flexibility in the
format in which they require the
collection of information (i) TCBs may
require applicants to submit the
required information in FCC Form 731
format or in another format selected by
the TCB, but (ii) whatever the
information collection method, the
information required is governed by the
procedural rules in 47 CFR Part 2 and
a showing of compliance with the FCC
technical standards for the specific type
of equipment. RF manufacturer
applicants for equipment certification
may also request ‘‘expedited
authorization’’ to market their
equipment by: (a) Choosing to pay the
fee levied by a TCB, and (b) submitting
their request to a TCB in order for
expedited authorization to market. The
TCB processes the RF equipment
manufacturer’s application as follows:
(i) the TCB receives and reviews the RF
manufacturer’s information submission/
application; and (ii) the TCB enters the
information into the FCC Equipment
Authorization System database using an
interface that provides the TCB with the
tools to issue a standardized Grant of
Equipment Authorization. Whichever
method the RF manufacturers choose to
submit their information-via either the
FCC on FCC Form 731 or the TCB, FCC
Rules require that applicants supply the
following data: (a) demographic
information including Grantee name
and address, contact information, etc;
(b) information specific to the
equipment including FCC Identifier,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:49 Dec 16, 2013
Jkt 232001
equipment class, technical
specifications, etc; and (c) attachments
that demonstrate compliance with FCC
Rules that may include any combination
of the following based on the applicable
Rule parts for the equipment for which
authorization is requested: (1)
Identification of equipment (47 CFR
2.925); (2) attestation statements that
may be required for specific
equipments; (3) external photos of the
equipment for which authorization is
requested; (4) block diagram of the
device; (5) schematics; (6) test report; (7)
test setup photos; (8) Users Manual; (9)
Internal Photos; (10) Parts List/Tune Up
Information; (11) RF Exposure
Information; (12) Operational
Description; (13) Cover Letters; and, (14)
Software Defined Radio/Cognitive Radio
Files.
In general, an applicant’s submission
is as follows: (a) FCC Form 731 includes
approximately two pages covering the
demographic and equipment
identification information; and (b)
applicants must supply additional
documentation and other information,
as described above, demonstrating
conformance with FCC Rules, which
may range from 100–1000 pages. The
supplemental information is essential to
control potential interference to radio
communications, which the FCC may
use, as is necessary, to investigate
complaints of harmful interference. In
response to new technologies and in
allocating spectrum, the Commission
may establish new technical operating
standards: (a) RF equipment
manufacturers must meet the new
standards to receive an equipment
authorization, and (b) RF equipment
manufacturers must still comply with
the Commission’s requirements in FCC
Form 731 and demonstrate compliance
as required by 47 CFR Part 2 of FCC
Rules. Thus, this information collection
applies to a variety of RF equipment: (a)
that is currently manufactured, (b) that
may be manufactured in the future, and
(c) that operates under varying technical
standards. On July 8, 2004, the
Commission adopted a Report and
Order, Modification of Parts 2 and 15 of
the Commission’s Rules for Unlicensed
Devices and Equipment Approval, ET
Docket No. 03–201, FCC 04–165. The
change requires that all paper filings
required in 47 CFR Sections 2.913,
2.926(c), 2.929(c), and 2.929(d) of the
rules are outdated and now must be
filed electronically via the Internet on
FCC Form 731. The Commission
believes that electronic filing speeds up
application processing and supports the
Commission in further streamlining to
reduce cost and increase efficiency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Information
The FFIEC is publishing this
Guidance to address the applicability of
federal consumer protection and
compliance laws, regulations, and
policies to activities conducted via
social media by banks, savings
associations, and credit unions, as well
as by nonbank entities supervised by the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) (collectively, financial
institutions). The Guidance does not
impose any new requirements on
financial institutions. Rather, it is a
guide to help financial institutions
understand the applicability of existing
requirements and supervisory
expectations associated with the use of
social media. Financial institutions are
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
76297
expected to manage risks associated
with all types of consumer and
customer communications, no matter
the medium. The Guidance provides
considerations that financial institutions
may find useful in conducting risk
assessments and crafting and evaluating
policies and procedures regarding social
media. Thus, rather than discouraging
the use of social media or establishing
any new obligations related to the use
of this technology, the Guidance is
intended to help financial institutions
understand and successfully manage
risks in this area.
The six members of the FFIEC are the
Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC); the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (Board);
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC); the National Credit
Union Administration (NCUA); the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) (collectively, the Agencies); and
the State Liaison Committee (SLC). As
part of its mission, the FFIEC makes
recommendations regarding supervisory
matters and the adequacy of supervisory
tools to the Agencies. The FFIEC also
develops procedures for examinations of
financial institutions that are used by
the Agencies. The Agencies expect that
all financial institutions they supervise
will effectively assess and manage risks
associated with activities conducted via
social media. The Agencies and SLC
will use this Guidance to the extent
consistent with their respective
authorities. After consideration of
comments received from the public, the
FFIEC is issuing this document on
behalf of its members as guidance to the
institutions that the member Agencies
supervise. Accordingly, such
institutions are expected to use the
Guidance in their efforts to ensure that
their risk management and consumer
protection practices adequately address
consumer compliance and legal risks, as
well as related risks, such as reputation
and operational risks, raised by
activities conducted via social media.
The SLC, which is composed of
representatives of five state agencies
that supervise financial institutions, was
established to encourage the application
of uniform examination principles and
standards by state and federal
supervisory agencies. The SLC
encourages the adoption of the
Guidance by state regulators. State
agencies that adopt the Guidance will
expect the entities that they regulate to
use the Guidance in their efforts to
ensure that their risk management and
consumer protection practices
adequately address the compliance and
