safeguards, and disposal of the PII that individual private land mobile
radio licensees maintain under 47 CFR 90.129.

Section 90.129 requires that applicants proposing to use
transmitting equipment that is not type-certified by FCC laboratory
personnel to provide a description of the proposed equipment. This
assures that the equipment is capable of performing within certain
tolerances that limit the interference potential of the device.
Additionally, this rule section requires that each application
under this part that is received by the Commission, through the
application process outlined in 47 CFR part 1, subpart F, must be
accompanied by the applicable supplementary information described in
the paragraphs in 47 CFR 90.129. The information is used by FCC
engineers to determine the interference potential of the proposed
equipment.

submit confidential information to the FCC. However, respondents who
wish to request confidential treatment of the information they believe
to be confidential, may do so under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's
rules.
Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension
(no change in reporting requirements) after this 60 day comment period
to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full
three year clearance.
In the Fifth Report and Order in FCC 99-206, the Commission
permitted price cap local exchange carriers (LECs) to introduce new
services on a streamlined basis, without prior approval. The Commission
adopted rules to eliminate the public interest showing required by
section 69.4(g) and eliminated the new services test (except in the
case of loop-based new services) required under sections 69.49(f) and
(g). These modifications eliminated delays that existed for the
introduction of new services as well as encouraging efficient
investment and innovation.
The information is used by the Commission to determine whether this
is in the public interest for the incumbent LEC to offer a proposed new
switched access service.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
