Abstract
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.

The FCC rules under 47 CFR 2.1033 and 15.121 require manufacturers
of scanning receivers to design their equipment so that it has 38 dB of
image rejection for Cellular Service frequencies, tuning, control and
filtering circuitry are inaccessible and any attempt to modify the
scanning receiver to receive Cellular Service transmissions will likely
render the scanning receiver inoperable. The Commission's rules also
require manufacturers to submit information with any application for
certification that describes the testing method used to determine
compliance with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, the design features
that prevent modification of the scanning receiver to receive Cellular
Service transmissions, and the design steps taken to make tuning,
control, and filtering circuitry inaccessible. Furthermore, the FCC
requires equipment to carry a statement assessing the vulnerability of
the scanning receiver to modification and to have a label affixed to
the scanning receiver, similar to the following as described in section
15.121:
Warning: Modification of this device to receive cellular
radiotelephone service signals is prohibited under FCC Rules and
Federal Law.
The Commission uses the information required in this equipment
authorization process to determine whether the equipment that is being
marketed complies with the Congressional mandate in the Telephone
Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act of 1992 (TDDRA) and applicable
Commission rules.

industry guidelines. Failure of the audited carriers to respond to the
audits can result in penalties. Based on the final audit report,
evidence of potential violations may result in enforcement action.
