Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (ET Docket 99-255).
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or not for profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 2500.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 4.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; one time reporting 
requirement.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $500,000.00.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rule 
Making, to create a Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (``WMTS'') (ET 
Docket No. 99-255). If the WMTS were licensed by rule, there would be 
no record of which frequencies are used by each facility or device. 
This could result in interference if multiple parties located closely 
together attempted to use the same frequencies. Therefore, the 
Commission proposes the appointment of a frequency coordinator, who 
will maintain a database of all WMTS equipment in operation. All 
parties using equipment in the WMTS would be required to coordinate/
register their operating frequency and other relevant technical 
operating parameters with a coordinator designated by the Commission. 
This proposal would assist WMTS users in avoiding interference.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
