Estimated Time Per Response: 2 to 35

hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement; recordkeeping

requirement; and third part disclosure

requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 400 hours.

Total Annual Cost: $480,000.

Needs and Use: In the Memorandum

Opinion and Order issued in CC Docket

No. 96–128, the Commission clarified

requirements established in the

Payphone Orders for the provision of

payphone-specific coding digits by LECs

and PSPs, to IXCs, beginning October 7,

1997. Specifically, the Order clarified

that only FLEX ANI complies with the

requirements; required that LECs file

tariffs to FLEX ANI as a nonchargeable

option to IXCs; required that LECs file

tariffs to recover costs associated with

implementing FLEX ANI; and grants

permission and certain waivers. This is

an extension of a currently approved

collection. The Commission is seeking

approval to extend this collection for

three years, as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act.

Commissions, 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

Holding Station License.

Form Number: FCC Form 703.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit

institutions.

Number of Respondents: 40.

Estimated Time Per Response: 36

mins.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement; Third party

disclosure.

Total Annual Burden: 24 hrs.

Total Estimated Cost: $2,000.

Needs and Uses: The

Communications Act of 1934, as

amended, and 47 CFR 5.59 of FCC Rules

require applicants for Experimental

Radio Services to submit FCC 703 when

they propose to change, via a transfer of

stock ownership, the control of a

station. This information is used to

determine eligibility for licenses,

without which, violations of ownership

regulations may occur. The FCC has

made various revisions to Form 703: (1)

Expiration date was deleted; (2) public

coast and common carrier Alaska public

fixed stations questions were removed;

(3) fee multiple was deleted; (4) ‘‘FOR

FCC USE ONLY’’ field was removed; (5)

fields were added for the transferee’s

address and contact information to

include an ‘‘Attention’’ field; (6) field

labeled ‘‘FCC Registration Number

(FRN)’’ was added; (7) Internet URL

Title: Application for Equipment

Authorization, 47 CFR Sections 2.911,

2.925, 2.932, 2.944, 2.960, 2.1033(a),

and 2.1043.

Type of Review: Revision of currently

approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.

Number of Respondents: 5,600.

Estimate of Time Per Response: 24

hrs. (avg.)

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirements; Third party

disclosure.

Total Annual Burden: 134,400.

Total Annual Costs: $1,120,000.

Needs and Uses: Under sections of 47

CFR parts 15 and 18 of FCC Rules,

regulated equipment must comply with

the FCC’s technical standards before it

is approved for marketing. Rules

governing certain equipment operating

in the licensed service also require

equipment authorization under 47 CFR

part 2. On September 13, 2001, the FCC

adopted a First Report and Order, ET

Docket No. 00–47, that established a

‘‘Class III Permissive Change.’’

Manufacturers can now make changes

affecting the frequency, power, and

modulation parameters of software

defined radios without having to file a

new equipment authorization

application. However, new software can

not be loaded into radios until the FCC

or a designated Telecommunications

Certification Body (TCB) approves the

manufacturer’s software changes and

test data showing compliance with FCC

technical standards using the new

software. In addition, the FCC now

allows ‘‘electronic labeling’’ for software

defined radio transmitters’a liquid

crystal display or similar screen

displays the FCC identification number.

67252 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2001 / Notices

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirements; Third party

disclosure.

Total Annual Burden: 647, 675.

Total Annual Costs: None.

Needs and Uses: The First Report and

Order, FCC 98–191, in WT Docket No.

96–86, amended service rules to make

the spectrum available for licensing

public safety entities. To satisfy local

and regional needs and preferences, the

FCC has required submission of regional

plans drafted by planning committees

made up of representatives from the

public safety community. Creation of

these plans necessarily imposes some

burden, both on the eligible entities that

make their needs known and on

planners who seek to accommodate

them.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0934.

Title: Application for Equipment

Authorization, 47 CFR Sections 2.925,

2.932, 2.944, 2.960, 2.962, 2.1043,

68.160, and 68.162.

Form Number: FCC TCB 731.

Type of Review: Revision of currently

approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.

Number of Respondents: 25.

Estimated Time Per Response: 4 hrs.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirements; Third party

disclosure.

Total Annual Burden: 6,400 hrs.

Total Annual Cost: $175,000.

Needs and Uses: Under 47 CFR parts

15 and 18 of FCC Rules, certain

equipment must comply with FCC

technical standards before it can be

marketed. Equipment that operates in

the licensed service requires FCC

authorization under 47 CFR parts 2 and

68. Since its 1998 Report and Order,

Docket No. 98–68, the FCC has

permitted a private sector firm or

‘‘Telecommunications Certification

Body’’ (TCB) to approve equipment for

marketing and has also established

guidelines for ‘‘Mutual Recognition

Agreements’’ with foreign trade

partners. Once approved by the

accrediting body and ‘‘designated’’ by

the FCC, TCBs may accept Form 731

filings and evaluate the equipment’s

compliance with FCC Rules and

technical standards. TCBs submit this

information to the FCC via the Internet.

On September 13, 2001, the FCC

adopted a First Report and Order, ET

Docket No. 00–47, that established a

‘‘Class III Permissive Change’’ to permit

manufacturers to make changes affecting

frequency, power, and modulation

parameters of ‘‘software defined radios’’

without having to file a new equipment

authorization application. The

manufacturer must submit a description

of the software changes to the FCC or a

designated TCB. The FCC permits

‘‘electronic labeling’’ to be used on

software defined radio transmitters.
