Non-substantive Change Request

February 6, 2015

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control Number 3060-0936

Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number: 3060-0936:

Purpose of this Submission: 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.

Frequency Coordinator Requirements:

Section 95.1225(c)

(c) The frequency coordinator¹ shall:

(1) Provide registration and coordination of MBAN operations to all eligible health care facilities on a non-discriminatory basis;

(2) Provide MBAN registration and coordination services on a not-for-profit basis;

(3) Notify the Commission of its intent to no longer serve as frequency coordinator six months prior to ceasing to perform these functions; and

(4) Transfer the MBAN registration data in usable form to a frequency coordinator designated by the Commission if it ceases to be the frequency coordinator.

The supporting statement has been updated to incorporate the requirements contained in Section 95.1255(c) into collection 3060-0936.

1 This individual will act in the capacity of a contractor for the Commission; therefore, the burden and cost for this collection will not be impacted by Section 95.1255(c).
