Administrative Requirements For 

Assistance Programs’’—OMB Control 

Number 2030–0020 (Expiration Date:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Radio Frequency Identification 

Equipment, 47 CFR 15.240. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Respondents: Not-for-profit 

institutions; business or other for-profit; 

and State, local, or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents: 10. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 hour. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; Third party 

disclosure. 

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: On April 15, 2004, 

the FCC adopted a Third Report and 

Order, In the Matter of Review of part 

15 and other Parts of the Commission’s 

Rules, ET Docket No. 01–278, RM–9375, 

RM–10051, FCC 04–98. The Third 

Report and Order requires each grantee 

of certification for Radio Frequency 

Identification (RFID) Equipment to 

register the location of the equipment/

devices its markets with the 

Commission. The information the 

grantee must supply to the Commission 

when registering the devices shall 

include the name, address and other 

pertinent contact information of users, 

the geographic coordinates of the 

operating location, and the FCC 

identification number(s) of the 

equipment. The improved RFID 

equipment could benefit commercial 

shippers and have significant homeland 

security benefits by enabling the entire 

contents of shipping containers to be 

easily and immediately identified, and 

by allowing a determination of whether 

tampering with their contents has 

occurred during shipping. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0004. 

Title: Guidelines for Evaluating the 

Environmental Effects of 

Radiofrequency Radiation, Second 

Memorandum Opinion and Order, ET 

Docket No. 93–62. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Not-for-profit 

institutions; business or other for-profit; 

and State, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 122,985. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2.02 

hours (avg.). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; third party 

disclosure. 

Total Annual Burden: 256,080 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,193,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N.A. 

Needs and Uses: The National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) required Federal agencies to 

evaluate the effects of their actions on 

‘‘human environmental quality.’’ To 

comply with NEPA, the Commission 

adopted rules, 47 CFR 1.1307, which 

revised the Radio Frequency (RF) 

exposure guidelines for FCC-regulated 

facilities. The new guidelines reflect 

more recent scientific studies of RF 

electromagnetic fields and their 

biological effects and are designed to 

ensure that the public and workers 

receive adequate protection from 

exposure to potentially harmful RF 

electromagnetic fields. The FCC staff 

uses the information required under 

section 1.1307 to determine whether the 

environmental evaluation is sufficiently 

complete and in compliance with the 

FCC Rules to be acceptable for filing.

Federal Communications Commission. 

Marlene H. Dortch, 

Secretary.
