The Commission rules in 47 CFR Part
15, 15.525 requires operators of the
Ultra Wideband (UWB) imaging systems
to coordinate with other Federal
agencies via the FCC and to obtain
approval before the UWB equipment
may be used. Initial operation in a
particular area may not commence until
the information has been sent to the
Commission and no prior approval is
required. The information will be used
to coordinate the operation of the Ultra
Wideband transmission systems in
order to avoid interference with
sensitive U.S. government radio
systems. The UWB operators will be
required to provide name, address and
other pertinent contact information of
the user, the desired geographical area
of operation, and the FCC ID number,
and other nomenclature of the UWB
device. This information will be
collected by the Commission and
forwarded to the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) under the U.S.
Department of Commerce. This
information collection is essential to
controlling potential interference to
Federal radio communications. Since
initial operation in a particular area
does not require approval from the FCC
to operate the equipment.

Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of

performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the

the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

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 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 Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information provided pursuant to this
request will be viewed as presumptively
confidential upon submission because
the information would reflect reports on
weaknesses in or damage to national
communications infrastructure, and the
release of this sensitive information to
the public could potentially facilitate
terrorist targeting of critical
infrastructure and key resources. The
submissions also may contain internal
confidential information that constitutes
trade secrets and commercial/financial
information that the respondent does
not routinely make public and public
release of the submitted information
could cause competitive harm by
revealing information about the types
and deployment of cable equipment and
the traffic that flows across the system.
For these reasons, the information
requested in (b) (Terrestrial Route Map)
and (c) (Undersea Location Spreadsheet)
above is presumptively exempt from
public disclosure under Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 3, 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(3), and section 4(j) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(j), as
implemented in 47 CFR 0.457(c)(1)(i)
(exempting disclosure of ‘‘maps
showing the exact location of submarine
cables’’). The information requested in
(a) (System Status and Restoration
Messages) and (d) (Restoration
Capability) described above will be
considered exempt under Exemption 4
of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). If a FOIA
request is filed for information
submitted in response to this request,
the respondent whose records are the
subject of the request will be notified of
the FOIA request and given the
opportunity to oppose release of the
records. See 47 CFR 0.461(d)(3). We
note that the information provided in
response to this request will be shared
with the Department of Homeland
Security’s National Communications
System (NCS) and relevant Executive
Branch agencies on a confidential basis.
See 44 U.S.C. 3510.

threats to the submarine cable systems.

critical communications systems in the
context of other available information.
