Abstract: The information collection requires manufacturers of transmitters for the Medical Device Radiocommunication Service (MedRadio) to include with each transmitting device a statement regarding harmful interference and to label the device in a conspicuous location on the device. It also requires the manufacturers to register the frequencies with the "Database Coordinator. The requirements will allow use of potential life-saving medical technology without causing interference to other users of the bands. This submission is being made for non-substantive change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. On August 20, 2014, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) adopted an Order on Reconsideration and Second Report and Order (R&O) in ET Docket No. 08-59, FCC 14-124. The proceeding finalized the process for selecting a "Medical Body Area Network" (MBAN) Coordinator. The coordinator will facilitate use of the MBAN frequencies, which operate in share-use bands. Section 95.1225(c) was added. We previously received OMB approval for Section 95.1225 on November 26, 2013. The requested change will not increase nor decrease the number of respondents/responses, total burden hours or cost in the "Medical Device Radiocommunications Service" information collection 3060-0936.
