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.

Title: Application for Equipment

Authorization, 47 CFR Sections 2.925,

2.932, 2.944, 2.960, 2.962, 2.1043,

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.
