Re: Request for confidentiality
Applicant: Starkey Laboratories, Inc. DBA Starkey Hearing Technologies
FCC ID: EOA—24MFA
To whom it may concern,
Permanent Confidentiality
Request is hereby submitted by Starkey Laboratories, Inc. DBA Starkey Hearing Technologies to
withhold permanently from public review certain portions of the application for equipment
certification for the referenced FCC identifiers. This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to
47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application
are to be kept permanently confidential:
     e Schematics
     e Detailed Block diagrams
     e Detailed Operational/Functional Description


Rationale for request for confidentiality:
Starkey Laboratories, Inc. DBA Starkey Hearing Technologies has invested considerable time and
materials in research and development to produce the referenced product: Disclosure of the
permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them
significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose
successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us. Disclosure of
the short—term confidential portions of this application during the period of importation and/or
distribution would reveal key aspects of proprietary technology to competitors and diminish the
value of our investment in research and development.
Sincerely,
 )                        «          P
