FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501--3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). 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 burden for 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 OMB control number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before September 24, 2013. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Benish Shah, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected]. To 
submit your PRA comments by email send them to: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benish Shah, Office of Managing 
Director, (202) 418-7866.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-0936.
    Title: Sections 95.1215, 95.1217, 95.1223 and 95.1225--Medical 
Device Radiocommunications Service (MedRadio).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 3,120 respondents; 3,120 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third 
party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151 and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,120 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $462,600.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: No information is requested 
that would require assurance of confidentiality.
    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 (there has been a 
program change in the reporting, recordkeeping requirements and/or 
third party disclosure requirements, the number of respondents/
operators increased from 100 to 2,620, therefore, the annual burden and 
cost has also increased).
    The Commission now seeks OMB approval for a revision. On May 24, 
2012, the Commission released a Report

and Order, ET Docket No. 08-59, FCC 12-54, Amendment of Parts 2 and 95 
of the Commission's rules which revised the requirements for 
manufacturers of transmitters for the ``Medical Device 
Radiocommunication Service'' to include with each transmitting device a 
statement regarding harmful interference and to label the device in a 
conspicuous location on the device. The Report and Order also adopted 
rules for ``Medical Body Area Network'' (MBAN), which requires the 
Commission to establish a process by which MBAN users will register and 
coordinate the use of certain medical devices. The frequency 
coordinator will make the database available to equipment manufacturers 
and the public. The coordinator will also notify users of potential 
frequency conflicts.
