Information Collections Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested 
concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, 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 be submitted on or before May 12, 
2023. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

    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 No.: 3060-0997.

order to verify the accuracy of numbering data reported on FCC Form 
502, and to monitor compliance with FCC rules, orders and applicable 
industry guidelines. Failure of the audited carriers to respond to the 
audits can result in penalties. Based on the final audit report, 
evidence of potential violations may result in enforcement action.
