   Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID number TJJ-BB006

   Dear Sirs:
   Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation requests that the material in the Schematics, Block Diagram,
   and Operational Description be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 0.457 and
   0.459 of the Commission’s Rules following grant of the application. In support of this request,
   Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation submits the following information.

   CONFIDENTIAL FILES
   Conf BlkDia BB006.pdf
   Conf OpDes BB006.pdf
   Conf Schem BB006.pdf

1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought:
   The materials set forth in the Operational Description, block diagram, parts list, and Schematics,
   which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which
   confidentiality is sought.

2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a
   description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission:
   The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under
   FCC ID No: TJJ-BB006

3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a
   trade secret or is privileged:
   This material includes a detailed theory of operation, circuit diagrams, and schematic. As such, this
   material is treated as highly confidential business information.



                                                                                            Page 1 of 2


4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to
   competition:
   The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this
   transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment
   have a variety of competing sources.

5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm:
   Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Hopkins Manufacturing
   Corporation’s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing
   process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the
   product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Hopkins
   Manufacturing Corporation

6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized
   disclosure:
   The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Hopkins
   Manufacturing Corporation and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure
   agreements.

7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any
   previous disclosure of the information to third parties:
   To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed
   publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of
   numerous disclosures in industry and standards groups as well as in rule making proceedings of the
   FCC, the protection sought is narrowly drawn and pertains to certain specific implementations of
   this radio technology.

8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should
   not be available for public disclosure:
   This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made
   relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design
   and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come.
   As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might
   attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will
   be employed.

   Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned.

   Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

   Sincerely,

   Scot Rogers
