(b) An offer for sale solely to business,
commercial, industrial, scientific, or
medical users of an RF device in the
conceptual, developmental, design or
pre-production stage prior to
demonstration of compliance with the
equipment authorization regulations
may be permitted provided that the
prospective buyer is advised in writing
at the time of the offer for sale that the
equipment is subject to FCC rules and
that the equipment will comply with the
appropriate rules before delivery to the
buyer or centers of distribution.
(c) Equipment sold as evaluation kit
may be sold to specific users with notice
specified in § 2.803(c)(2)(iv)(B).
The information to be disclosed about
marketing of the RF device is intended:

Statutory authority for this information
collection is contained in the Broadband

Law 110–385, Stat 4096,
103(c)(1).
Total Annual Burden: 46,667 hours.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This
information collection affects
individuals or households. However,
personally identifiable information (PII)
is not being collected by, made available
to or made accessible by the
Commission but instead by third parties
including SamKnows, a third party
contractor, and Internet Service
Provider (ISP) Partners.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
No personally identifying information
(PII) will be transmitted to the
Commission from the contractor as a
matter of vendor policy and agency
privacy policy. SamKnows maintains a
series of administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards to protect against
the transmission of PII. At point of
registration, individuals will be given
full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy statement’’
highlighting what information will be
collected. ISP Partners will receive PII
about volunteers to confirm the validity
of the information against their
subscription records, but will be bound
by a non-disclosure agreement that will
maintain various administrative,
technical and physical safeguards to
protect the information and limit its use.
ISP Partners providing support to the
testing program will likewise be bound
to the same series of administrative,
technical and physical safeguards
developed by SamKnows. In addition
all third parties supporting the program
directly will be bound by a ‘‘Code of
Conduct’’ to ensure all participate and
act in good faith and with other legally
enforceable documents such as nondisclosure agreements.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this revised information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) order to obtain the
full three year clearance from them. The
Commission is reporting a program
change (there has been a program
change in the reporting requirements,
the number of respondents increased
from 11,016 to 46,667). The Commission
