approved under this collection. The following information collection requirements are approved under this collection:
Labeling Requirements: Sections 20.21a5, 20.21f, 90.219e5In order to avoid consumer confusion and provide consumers with needed information, the Commission adopted labeling requirements for Consumer and Industrial Signal Boosters. Consumer Signal Boosters must be labeled to identify the device as a consumer device and make the consumer aware that the device must be registered; may only be operated with the consent of the consumers wireless provider; may only be operated with approved antennas and cables; and that E911
communications may be affected for calls served by using the device.
Industrial Signal Boosters must include a label stating that the device is not a consumer device, is designed for installation by FCC licensees or a qualified installer, and the operator must have a FCC license or consent of a FCC licensee to operate the device.
Accordingly, all signal boosters marketed on or after March 1, 2014, must include the advisories 1 in online point-of-sale marketing materials;
2 in any print or on-line owners manual and installation instructions; 3
on the outside packaging of the device;
and 4 on a label affixed to the device.
Part 90 signal boosters marketed or sold on or after March 1, 2014, must include a label stating that the device is not a consumer device; the operator must have a FCC license or consent of a FCC
licensee to operate the device; the operator must register Class B signal boosters; and unauthorized use may result in significant forfeitures.
Section 20.21f1ivA2In order to ensure that consumers are properly informed about which devices are suitable for their use and how to comply with our rules, the Commission required that all Consumer Signal Boosters certified for fixed, in-building operation include a label directing consumers that the device may only be operated in a fixed, in-building location. The Verizon Petitioners state that this additional labeling requirement is necessary to inform purchasers of fixed Consumer Signal Boosters that they may not lawfully be installed and operated in a moving vehicle or outdoor location. We recognize that our labeling requirement imposes additional costs on entities that manufacture Consumer Signal Boosters;
however, on balance, we find that such costs are outweighed by the benefits of ensuring that consumers purchase appropriate devices. Accordingly, all fixed Consumer Signal Boosters, both

Provider-Specific and Wideband, manufactured or imported on or after one year from the effective date of the rule change must include the following advisory 1 in on-line point-of-sale marketing materials, 2 in any print or on-line owners manual and installation instructions, 3 on the outside packaging of the device, and 4 on a label affixed to the device: This device may be operated ONLY in a fixed location for in-building use.
Section 1.1307b1Radiofrequency RF. This rule requires that a label is affixed to the transmitting antenna that provides adequate notice regarding potential RF safety hazards and references the applicable FCC-adopted limits for RF exposure. Provider Reporting Requirement: In order to facilitate review of wireless providers behavior regarding Consumer Signal Boosters, the R&O requires that on March 1, 2015, and March 1, 2016, all nationwide wireless providers publicly indicate their status regarding consent for each Consumer Signal Booster that has received FCC certification as listed in a Public Notice to be released by the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 30 days prior to each reporting date. For each listed Consumer Signal Booster, wireless providers should publicly indicate whether they 1 consent to use of the device; 2 do not consent to use of the device; or 3 are still considering whether or not they will consent to the use of the device.
Registration Requirements: Section 20.21a2The rules require signal booster operators to register Consumer Signal Boosters, existing and new, with their serving wireless providers prior to operation. This is a mandatory requirement to continue or begin operation of a Consumer Signal Booster.
The registration requirement will aid in interference resolution and facilitate provider control over Consumer Signal Boosters. The information collection contained in Section 20.21a2 affects individuals or households; thus, there are impacts under the Privacy Act.
However, the government is not directly collecting this information and the R&O
directs carriers to protect the information to the extent it is considered Customer Proprietary Network Information CPNI.
Section 20.21hBy March 1, 2014, all providers who voluntarily consent to the use of Consumer Signal Boosters on their networks must establish a free registration system for their subscribers.
At a minimum, providers must collect 1 the name of the Consumer Signal Booster owner and/or operator, if different individuals; 2 the make, model, and serial number of the device;
