The Commission has established rules 

for the marketing and authorization of 

radio frequency (RF) devices under 

guidelines in 47 CFR Part 2, Section 

2.803. The general guidelines in Section 

2.803 prohibit the marketing or sale of 

such equipment prior to a 

demonstration of compliance with the 

applicable equipment authorization and 

technical requirements in the case of a 

device subject to verification or 

Declaration of Conformity. 

The following general guidelines 

apply for third party notifications: 

(a) A RF device may be advertised and 

displayed at a trade show or exhibition 

prior to a demonstration of compliance 

with the applicable technical standards 

and compliance with the applicable 

equipment authorization procedure 

provided the advertising and display is 

accompanied by a conspicuous notice 

specified in Section 2.803(c). 

(b) An offer for sale solely to business, 

commercial, industrial, scientific, or 

medical users of an RF device in the 

conceptual, developmental, design or 

pre-production stage prior to 

demonstration of compliance with the 

equipment authorization regulations 

may be permitted provided that the 

prospective buyer is advised in writing 

at the time of the offer for sale that the 

equipment is subject to FCC rules and 

that the equipment will comply with the 

appropriate rules before delivery to the 

buyer or centers of distribution. 

(c) There are no FCC requirements for 

how this notice of compliance is to be 

phrased. 

The information to be disclosed about 

marketing of the RF device is intended: 

(a) To ensure the compliance of the 

proposed equipment with Commission 

rules; and 

(b) To assist industry efforts to 

introduce new products to the 

marketplace more promptly. 

The information disclosure applies to 

a variety of RF devices that: 

(a) Is pending equipment 

authorization or verification of 

compliance; 

(b) May be manufactured in the

Estimated Time Per Response: 8 hours 

(5 times/year). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended; and 47 U.S.C. sections 153, 

154(i), and 271. 

Total Annual Burden: 800 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting that 

respondents submit confidential 

information. The information submitted 

to the Commission is available for 

public inspection; no assurance of 

confidentiality has been given regarding 

the information. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60 day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three year 

clearance from them. The Commission 

is requesting an extension (no change in 

the reporting requirement) of this 

information collection. The Commission 

is reporting no change in their burden 

estimates. 

In a 1997 Memorandum Opinion and 

Order, the Commission requested that 

Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) 

provide certain information to the 

Commission regarding BOC requests for 

limited modification of local access and 

transport area (LATA) boundaries to 

provide local calling services (ELCS). 

Section 271 of the Communications 

Act of 1934 (‘the Act’), as amended, 

prohibits a BOC from providing 

‘‘interLATA services originating in any 

of its ‘in-region’ States’’ until the BOC 

takes certain steps to open its own 

market to competition and the 

Commission approves the BOC’s 

application to provide such service. 

Moreover, Section 10(d) prohibits the 

Commission from forbearing from 

applying the requirements of Section 

271. However Section 3(25) of the Act 

provides that a BOC may modify LATA 

boundaries, if such modifications are 

approved by the Commission. Thus, for 

a BOC to provide service on a new ELCS 

route that crosses existing LATA 

boundaries, the Act requires that the 

BOC either modify the LATA so that the 

route no longer crosses a LATA 

boundary or satisfy the requirements of 

Section 271. Although the BOCs have 

otherwise satisfied the criteria for 

Section 271, this collection remains 

relevant in order to ensure that they 

fulfill their obligations under the Act 

and Commission policies and rules 

regarding BOC provision of InterLATA 

services. 

The Commission had found that 

LATA modification for the ‘‘limited 

purpose’’ of authorizing a BOC to 

provide flat-rate, non-optional local 

calling service between specific 

exchanges will meet community needs 

for traditional local telephone service 

while reducing the potential 

anticompetitive effects of general LATA 

modifications. 

The guidelines ask that each ECLS 

request include the following 

information: 

(1) Type of proposed service; (2) 

direction of proposed service; (3) 

telephone exchanges involved; (4) 

names of affected customers; (5) state 

commission approval; (6) number of 

access lines for customers; (7) usage 

data; (8) poll results; if any; (9) 

community of interest statement; (10) a 

map showing exchanges and LATA 

boundary involved; and (11) any other 

pertinent information. 

A carrier will be deemed to have 

made a prima facie case supporting 

grant of the proposed modification if the 

petition: (1) Has been approved by the 

state commission; (2) that the state 

commission found a sufficient 

community interest to warrant such 

service; (4) documents this community 

of interest through such evidence as poll 

results, usage data, and descriptions of 

the communities involved; and (5) 

involves a limited number of customers 

or access lines. The guidelines will 

enable the Commission to ensure that 

BOCs are incompliance with the Act 

and Commission policies and rules 

regarding BOC provision of InterLATA 

services. The requested information is 

used by the Commission to determine 

whether the need for the proposed ELCS 

routes outweigh the risk of potential 

anticompetitive effects, and thus 

whether requests for limited 

modifications of LATA boundaries 

should be granted.
