The following information is a synopsis of the request for confidentiality procedure as it applies to an equipment authorization application.
Confidentiality of Application Exhibits
When an application for equipment authorization of an RF device is filed with the FCC,the information is not publicly available until the grant of certification is issued. Information about the application may only be accessed using the combination of FCC ID and a randomly generated FCC Form 731 Confirmation Number that was created at the time of submission.
If an application is filed for the FCC to issue the grant of certification, an applicant may request deferral of the grant (See Section 0.457(d)(1)(ii)). Pending application information is not available for public inspection; therefore, the information related to the application will not be publicly available until the grant of certification is issued.
There are two types of confidentiality that may be requested - permanent / long-term confidentiality, which is intended to safeguard trade secrets in accordance with Sections 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC rules; and short-term confidentiality, which is intended to allow for the preparation of marketing of devices without disclosure of sensitive information to the public prior to actual sale of the devices. A table that describes which exhibits may be held confidential for both long-term and short-term confidentiality is included in the attachment.
Any exhibits not marked as confidential are viewable on the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Equipment Authorization Web site as soon as a grant is issued. Before a grant of equipment authorization is issued the applicant should ensure that (1) all sensitive exhibits are approved for confidentiality and marked as confidential; and (2) no confidential information is included in any non-confidential exhibit.
An application filed for the FCC to issue the grant of certification requires only one confidentiality fee regardless of the number of exhibits requested to be held confidential, and regardless of whether the application contains a request for both Long-Term Confidentiality and Short-Term Confidentiality. There is no confidentiality fee payable to the FCC for an application authorized by a TCB.
