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.

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.
