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.

There are no program changes to
this information collection. There are adjustments to the
collection which are due to a decrease in the estimated number of
respondents. This decrease in the number of respondents is due to
new data based upon equipment authorizations over the past 10
years. Therefore, the number of respondents decreased by -2,493,
the number of responses decreased by -2,493 and the annual burden
hours decreased by -7,269.
