                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, 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 August 16,
                2019. 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.
                [[Page 28047]]
                ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email
                [email protected] and to [email protected].
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
                information collection, contact Nicole Ongele at (202) 418-2991.
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 OMB Control Number: 3060-1079.
                 Title: Section 15.240, Radio Frequency Identification Equipment.
                 Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
                 Form No.: N/A.
                 Respondents: Business or other for-profit and Not-for-profit
                institutions.
                 Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 20 responses.
                 Estimated Time per Response: 2 hours.
                 Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third
                party disclosure requirements.
                 Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this
                information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 301, 302,
                303(e), 303(f) and 303(r).
                 Total Annual Burden: 200 hours.
                 Total Annual Cost: No cost.
                 Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
                 Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
                confidentiality.
                 Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
                information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
                after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the three year
                clearance. Section 15.240 requires each grantee of certification for
                Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment to register the
                location of the equipment/devices its markets with the Commission. The
                information that the grantee must supply to the Commission when
                registering the device(s) shall include the name, address and other
                pertinent contact information of users, the geographic coordinates of
                the operating location, and the FCC identification number(s) of the
                equipment. The improved RFID equipment could benefit commercial
                shippers and have significant homeland security benefits by enabling
                the entire contents of shipping containers to be easily and immediately
                identified, and by allowing a determination of whether tampering with
                their contents has occurred during shipping.
