and 5.93, Rules for the Experimental 

Radio Service, Part 5, ET Docket No. 96– 

256. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension 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: 428 

respondents; 4,524 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .25 – 

2.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and one–time reporting requirements

Total Annual Burden: 681 hours. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Experimental Licensing System 

database is publicly accessible and in 

general, respondents do not have any 

assurances of confidentiality. However, 

applicants may request that certain 

portions of their application be kept 

confidential. In these instances, the 

Commission established rules in 47 CFR 

0.459 regarding how to file such 

requests. 

Need and Uses: The Commission is 

submitting this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget at the end of this 60 day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three year clearance from them. 

There is no change in the reporting and/ 

or third party disclosure requirements. 

There are no changes to the 

Commission’s burden estimates. 

Section 5.55(c) requires that each 

application for experimental radio 

authorization shall be specific and 

complete with regard to: station 

location, proposed equipment, power, 

antenna height, and operating 

frequency; and other information 

required by the application form and 

rules. 

Section 5.61(c) requires that an 

application for experimental special 

temporary authority shall contain name, 

address, phone number of the applicant, 

description of why the STA is needed, 

description of the operation to be 

conducted and its purpose, time and 

dates of proposed operation, classes of 

station and call sign, description of the 

location, equipment to be used, 

frequency desired, power desired, and 

antenna height information. 

Section 5.75 requires that if a blanket 

experimental radio license is granted 

licensees are required to notify the 

Commission of specific details of each 

individual experiment. Specific details 

should include location, number of base 

and mobile units, power, emission 

designator, and any other pertinent 

technical information not specified by 

the blanket license. 

Section 5.85(d) when applicants are 

using public safety frequencies to 

perform experiments of a public safety 

nature, the license may be conditioned 

to require coordination between the 

experimental licensee and appropriate 

frequency coordinator and/or all public 

safety licensees in its area of operation. 

Section 5.85(e) states that the 

Commission may at its discretion 

condition any grant of an experimental 

license or special temporary authority 

(STA) on the requirement that before 

commencing operation, the new 

licensee must coordinate its proposed 

facility with other licensees that may 

receive interference as a result of the 

new licensee’s operations; and 

Section 5.93(b) unless otherwise 

stated in the instrument of authorization 

licenses granted for the purpose of 

limited market studies require the 

licensee to inform anyone participating 

in the experiment that the service or 

device is granted under an experimental 

authorization and is strictly temporary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No: 3060–0953. 

Title: Sections 95.1111 and 95.1113, 

Frequency Coordination/Coordinator, 

Wireless Medical Telemetry Service. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for– 

profit and not–for–profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 2,728 

respondents; 2,728 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 4 hours 

(average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, third party 

disclosure requirement, and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,912 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $545,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No information is requested that would 

require assurance of confidentiality. 

Need and Uses: The Commission will 

submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) as an extension (no 

change in the reporting, recordkeeping 

and/or third party disclosure 

requirements). The Commission’s 

burden estimate for the number of 

respondents increased from 2,500 to 

2,728 with this submission to the OMB. 

This adjustment in the number of 

respondents is to reflect more accurate 

estimates that the Commission has 

obtained over time. 

On June 12, 2000, the Commission 

adopted rules which allocated spectrum 

for Wireless Medical Telemetry Service 

(WMTS) that allows potentially life– 

critical equipment to operate in an 

interference–protected basis. Medical 

telemetry equipment is used in 

hospitals and health care facilities to 

transmit patient measurement data such 

as pulse and respiration rate to a nearby 

receiver, permitting greater patient 

mobility and increased comfort. The 

Commission designated a frequency 

coordinator, who maintains a database 

of all WMTS equipment. All parties 

using equipment in the WMTS are 

required to coordinate/register their 

operating frequency and other relevant 

technical operating parameters with the 

designated coordinator. The database 

provides a record of the frequencies 

used by each facility or device to assist 

parties in selecting frequencies to avoid 

interference. Without the database, there 

would be no record of WMTS usage 

because WMTS transmitters will not be 

individually licensed. The designated 

frequency coordinator has the 

responsibility to maintain an accurate 

engineering database of all WMTS 

transmitters, identified by location 

(coordinates, street address, building), 

operating frequency, emission type and 

output power, frequency range(s) used, 

modulation scheme used, effective 

radiated power, number of transmitters 

in use at the health care facility at the 

time of registration, legal name of the 

authorized health care provider, and 

point of contact for authorized health 

care provider. The frequency 

coordinator will make the database 

available to WMTS users, equipment 

manufacturers and the public. The 

coordinator will also notify users of 

potential frequency conflicts.
