Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance. Section 
15.240 requires each grantee of certification for Radio Frequency 
Identification (RFID) equipment to register the location of the 
equipment/devices it markets with the Commission. The information that 
the grantee must supply to the Commission when registering the devices 
shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information 
of users, the geographic coordinates of the operating location, and the

equipment could benefit commercial shippers and have significant 
homeland security benefits by enabling the entire contents of shipping 
containers to be easily and immediately identified, and by allowing a 
determination of whether tampering with their contents has occurred 
during shipping.
