Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB control number.

Needs and Uses: Manufacturers of Low Power Radio Service (LPRS)

device the following statement: ``This transmitter is authorized by
rule under the Low Power Radio Service (47 CFR part 95) and must not
cause harmful interference to TV reception or United States Navy SPASUR
installations. You do not need an FCC license to operate this
transmitter. This transmitter may only be used to provide: Auditory
assistance to persons with disabilities, persons who require language
translation, or persons in educational settings; health care services
to the ill; law enforcement tracking services under agreement with a
law enforcement agency; or automated maritime telecommunications system
(AMTS) network control communications. Two-way voice communications and
all other types of uses not mentioned above are expressly prohibited.''
The reporting requirement contained in section 95.2109 states that
Prior to operating a LPRS transmitter with an AMTS, the AMTS licensee
must notify, in writing, each television station that may be affected
by such operations, as defined in section 80.215(h). The notification
provided with the station's license application is sufficient to
satisfy this requirement if no new television stations would be
affected.
The information collection requirement contained in section 95.2195
requires that manufacturers of LPRS transmitters used for auditory
assistance, health care assistance, and law enforcement tracking
purposes must include with each transmitting device the following
statement:
This transmitter is authorized by rule under the Low Power Radio
Service (47 CFR part 95) and must not cause harmful interference to TV
reception or to the United States Air Force Space Surveillance System
operating in the 216.88-217.08 MHz band. With the exception of
automated maritime telecommunications system (AMTS) devices, you do not
need an FCC license to operate this transmitter. This transmitter may
only be used to provide: Auditory assistance to persons with
disabilities, persons who require language translation, or persons in
educational settings; health care services to the ill; law enforcement
tracking services under agreement with a law enforcement agency; or
AMTS network control communications. Two-way voice communications and
all other types of uses not mentioned above are expressly prohibited.
Please note that sections 95.1015(a) and (b) were renumbered to
sections 95.2195 and 95.2109 via FCC 17-57.
