Unlicensed Devices and Equipment Approval
This document terminates the above captioned proceeding on unlicensed transmitter operations. Based on the record and considering that the Commission has not received any additional requests in recent years advocating the need for a spectrum etiquette requirement for unlicensed operations in the requested bands, the Commission concludes that adoption of such a requirement does not merit further evaluation at this time. In terminating this proceeding, the Commission also dismissed a pending petition for reconsideration.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) invites public comment about our intention to request the OMB's approval for renewal of an existing information collection that is summarized below. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 1. The title of the information collection: 48 CFR 20, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Acquisition Regulation (NRCAR). 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0169. 3. How often the collection is required: On occasion; one time. 4. Who is required or asked to report: NRC contractors and potential contractors. 5. The number of annual respondents: 2,473 respondents. 6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement or request: 20,095 (18,750 reporting plus 1,345 recordkeeping). 7. Abstract: The mandatory requirements of the NRCAR implement and supplement the Government-wide Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and ensure that the regulations governing the procurement of goods and services within the NRC satisfy the particular needs of the agency. Because of differing statutory authorities among Federal agencies, the FAR authorizes agencies to issue regulations to implement FAR policies and procedures internally to satisfy the specific need of the agency. Submit, by September 12, 2014, comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? The public may examine and have copied for a fee, publicly- available documents, including the draft supporting statement, at the NRC's Public Document Room, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The OMB clearance requests are available at the NRC's Web site: https://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/ doc-comment/omb/. The document will be available on the NRC's home page site for 60 days after the signature date of this notice. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made available for public inspection. Because your comments will not be edited to remove any identifying or contact information, the NRC cautions you against including any information in your submission that you do not want to be publicly disclosed. Comments submitted should reference Docket No. NRC-2014-0135. You may submit your comments by any of the following methods: Electronic comments go to https:// www.regulations.gov and search for Docket No. RC-2014-0135.
