Short Statement:
The Commission has held off submitting this IC for OMB approval due to budget constraints in implementing IT modifications related to the FCC Form 731. The FCC has implemented new rules in the 2nd R&O adopted and released in April 2007 (FCC 07-56) for equipment approval and unlicensed devices as they relate to modular devices. The new rules require modification of the FCC Form 731 to simplify the collection of information related to these devices.
