Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission’s rules require that
certain portions of scanning receiver
applications for certification will remain
confidential after the effective date of
the grant of the application. No other
assurances of confidentiality are
provided to respondents.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension after this
60-day comment period to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in order
to obtain the full three-year clearance.
The FCC rules under 47 CFR 2.1033
and 15.121 require manufacturers of
scanning receivers to design their
equipment so that it has 38 dB of image
rejection for Cellular Service
frequencies, tuning, control and filtering
circuitry are inaccessible and any
attempt to modify the scanning receiver
to receive Cellular Service transmissions
will likely render the scanning receiver
inoperable. The Commission’s rules also
require manufacturers to submit
information with any application for
certification that describes the testing
method used to determine compliance
with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, the
design features that prevent
modification of the scanning receiver to
receive Cellular Service transmissions,
and the design steps taken to make
tuning, control, and filtering circuitry
inaccessible. Furthermore, the FCC
requires equipment to carry a statement
assessing the vulnerability of the
scanning receiver to modification and to
have a label affixed to the scanning
receiver, similar to the following as
described in section 15.121:
Warning: Modification of this device
to receive cellular radiotelephone
service signals is prohibited under FCC
Rules and Federal Law.
The Commission uses the information
required in this equipment
authorization process to determine
whether the equipment that is being
marketed complies with the
Congressional mandate in the
Telephone Disclosure and Dispute
Resolution Act of 1992 (TDDRA) and
applicable Commission rules.
OMB Control Number: 3060–1230.
Title: Enterprise Service and Public
Safety Interference Complaint Intake
Form.
Form Number: FCC–5624.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, Not-for-profit
institutions, Federal government, and
State, Local, or Tribal government.
