Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 201 / Thursday, October 16, 2008 / Notices 61419 

Estimated Time Per Response: 18 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one-time reporting requirements, 

recordkeeping requirement and third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 101,790 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,131,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Commission rules require equipment 

testing to determine performance and 

compliance with FCC rules and 

standards. This testing is typically done 

by independent testing laboratories 

whose measurement facility has been 

reviewed by the Commission, or by an 

accrediting organization recognized by 

the Commission. The Commission 

believes that the independent testing 

laboratories and accrediting 

organizations endeavor to protect any 

propriety, patents and/or trade secrets, 

related to RF equipment devices they 

test. The Commission, itself, may also 

provide a guarantee of confidentiality 

for information collected, if the request 

for confidentiality meets the 

requirements of 47 CFR 0.457(d) and a 

request for confidential treatment is 

submitted in accordance with 47 CFR 

0.457. 

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 

reporting, recordkeeping and/or third 

party disclosure requirements) and there 

is no change in the estimated annual 

hourly burden or the annual cost 

burden. 

The Commission rules in 47 CFR 

parts 15 and 18 require manufacturers of 

radio frequency (RF) equipment devices 

to gather and retain technical data on 

their equipment to verify compliance 

with established technical standards for 

each device operated under the 

applicable rule part. Testing and 

verification aid in controlling potential 

harmful interference to radio 

communications. The information may 

be used to determine that the equipment 

marketed complies with the applicable 

Commission rules and that the 

operation of the equipment is consistent 

with the initially documented test 

results. The information collected and 

used is essential to controlling potential 

interference to radio communications. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1042. 

Title: Request for Technical Support— 

Help Request Form. 

Form No.: N/A—Electronic only. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit; 

not-for-profit institutions, and state, 

local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 42,300 

respondents; 42,300 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 8–10 

minutes (.133 hours.) 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

There is no statutory authority for this 

information collection. The Commission 

developed this information collection 

(IC) on its own motion to assist users of 

the Universal Licensing System (US) or 

other electronic FCC systems. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,640 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $569,640. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

The FCC has a system of records notice, 

FCC/WTB–7, ‘‘Remedy Action Request 

System (RARS)’’ to cover personally 

identifiable information effected by 

these information collection 

requirements. At this time, the FCC is 

required to complete a Privacy Act 

Impact Assessment. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Submission of the electronic form is 

voluntary. In general there is no need 

for confidentiality. On a case-by-case 

basis, the Commission may be required 

to withhold from disclosure certain 

information about the location, 

character, or ownership of a historic 

property, including traditional religious 

sites. 

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 a revision; with an 

increase in the number of respondents/ 

responses; burden hours and annual 

costs. 

We are streamlining this collection to 

improve the quality of information 

provided by the respondents. The 

revised form uses a wizard design in 

which applicants select the type of 

inquiry they are submitting and then 

provide data relevant to that on-line 

system. The form is also being expanded 

to facilitate the collection of information 

regarding problems customers are 

having with the FCC Web site. This 

results in incomplete submissions and 

an additional burden is being placed on 

both the public customer and the FCC 

staff. 

The FCC’s Wireless 

Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) 

maintains Internet software used by the 

public to apply for licenses, participate 

in auctions for spectrum, and maintain 

license information. In this mission, 

FCC has created a ‘‘help desk’’ that 

answers questions/inquiries to these 

systems as well as resetting and/or 

issuing the Web site https:// 

esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm/ under 

this OMB control number (displayed 

above). This form will continue to 

substantially decrease public and FCC 

staff burden since all the information 

needed to a support request will be 

submitted in a standardized format but 

be available to a wider audience. This 

eliminates or at least minimizes the 

need to follow-up with public 

customers to obtain all the information 

necessary to respond to their request. 

This form also presorts requests into 

previously defined categories to 

appropriate FCC staff to respond in a 

timelier manner.
