The Commission "designates" private entities called Telecommunication Certification Bodies (TCBs) to approve (at the option of the applicant) certain equipment subject to certification. These TCBs may also be designated based on the recommendation of foreign accrediting bodies, which is a step in implementing Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
