SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13. An agency 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 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information collected; and (d) 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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before June 14, 1999. 
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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0532.
    Title: Scanning Receiver Compliance Exhibit (Sections 
2.1033(b)(11)).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households; Not-for-profit

    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third 
party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission has proposed to require 
manufacturers of scanning receivers to design their equipment so that: 
it has 38 dB of image rejection for Cellular Service frequencies, 
tuning and control circuitry are inaccessible, and any attempt modify 
the scanning receiver to receive Cellular Service transmissions will 
likely render the scanning receiver inoperable. The Commission has also 
proposed to require that the manufacturer submit information with any 
application for certification that: describes the testing method used 
to determine compliance with the 38 dB image rejection ratio, contains 
a statement assessing the vulnerability of the scanning receiver to 
modification, describes the design features that

prevent modification of the scanning receiver to receive Cellular 
Service transmissions, and describes the design steps taken to make 
tuning and control circuitry inaccessible.

Federal Communications Commission.
