FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; 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; and 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA 
that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before March 16, 
2015. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during this 
comment period to obtain the full three-year-clearance from them. 
However, we are reporting an adjustment in the reporting/recordkeeping 
burdens to reflect a decrease in the number of equipments authorized 
for this type of equipment, which reduces the burden hours and annual 
costs.
    Section 15.201(d) of the Commission rules permit the operation of 
field disturbance sensors in the low VHF region of the spectrum. In 
order to monitor non-licensed field disturbance sensors operating in 
the low VHF television bands, a unique procedure for on-site equipment 
testing of the systems is required to ensure suitable safeguards for 
the operation of these devices. Data are retained by the holder of the 
equipment authorized/issued by the Commission and made available only 
at the request of the Commission.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
