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 November 
24, 2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but

    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
(no change in reporting requirements), after this 60 day comment period 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the 
full three year clearance. The Commission rules in 47 CFR Part 15, 
15.525 requires operators of the Ultra Wideband (UWB) imaging systems 
to coordinate with other Federal agencies via the FCC and to obtain 
approval before the UWB equipment may be used. Initial operation in a 
particular area may not commence until the information has been sent to 
the Commission and no prior approval is required. The information will 
be used to coordinate the operation of the Ultra Wideband transmission 
systems in order to avoid interference with sensitive U.S. government 
radio systems. The UWB operators will be required to provide name, 
address and other pertinent contact information of the user, the 
desired geographical area of operation, and the FCC ID number, and 
other nomenclature of the UWB device. This information will be 
collected by the Commission and forwarded to the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the U.S. 
Department of Commerce. This information collection is essential to 
controlling potential interference to Federal radio communications. 
Since initial operation in a particular area does not require approval 
from the FCC to operate the equipment.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
