FCC to Consider Changes to Form 740 Requirements

The Federal Communications Commission will review Form 740 data requirements for imports of goods that the agency regulates, the FCC said in a notice (here). The FCC mentioned Form 740 filing as part of a list of agency rules under review. "The purpose of the review is to determine whether Commission rules whose ten-year anniversary dates are in the years 2011 - 2014" should be "continued without change, amended, or rescinded in order to minimize any significant impact the rules may have on a substantial number of small entities," it said. The Form 740 certification requirements for imported radio frequency devices were waived by the FCC until June 30 (see 1612090033). Comments are due May 4.
