To ensure that technical standards are
applied uniformly, the Commission
requires respondents to follow
appropriate equipment authorization
procedures specified in subpart J of part
2 of the Commission’s rules. These
requirements require manufacturers to
comply with certain information
collection requirements common to all
equipment.1 In addition to these general
requirements, the responsible parties for
certain types of equipment must
maintain special records as specified by
the requirements for those devices.
(a) 47 CFR 15.117(g)(2) of the
Commission’s rules requires that the
responsible party (usually the
manufacturer) for equipment insert in
its files a statement explaining the basis
on which the manufacturer relies to
ensure that at least 97.5% of all
production units of the test sample that
are manufactured have a noise figure of
no greater than 14 dB.
(b) 47 CFR 15.201(a) requires that
devices operated under the provisions
of 47 CFR 15.211, 15.213 and 15.221 of
the Commission’s rules comply with
certain additional requirements.
(c) The Commission’s rules permit the
operation of field disturbance sensors in
the low VHF region of the spectrum,
subject to requirements in 47 CFR
15.201(d).
(1) Such systems have the potential
for interfering with television
broadcasting and other radio
communication signals.
(2) The Commission requires a unique
procedure for on-site testing and
compliance verification of these systems
to ensure that suitable safeguards are in
place for the operation of these devices
in the VHF range of the spectrum.
The Commission is seeking the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to revise the information
collection requirements contained in
OMB Control No. 3060–0387 and
consolidate them into this collection.
After OMB approval is received, the
FCC will discontinue OMB Control No.
3060–0387 and have it removed from
OMB’s Active Inventory.
