These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.” Fitbit,  Inc.   405  Howard  Street,  Suite  550  |  San  Francisco,  CA    94105   www.fitbit.com  

Short-­‐Term  Confidentiality:   The  applicant  requests  the  exhibits  selected  above  as  short  term  confidential  be  withheld  from  public  view   for  a  period  of  180  days  from  the  date  of  the  Grant  of  Equipment  Authorization  and  prior  to  marketing.    This   is  to  avoid  premature  release  of  sensitive  information  prior  to  marketing  or  release  of  the  product  to  the   public.    Applicant  is  also  aware  that  they  are  responsible  to  notify  FCC  in  the  event  information  regarding  the   product  or  the  product  is  made  available  to  the  public.    FCC  will  then  release  the  documents  listed  above  for   public  disclosure  pursuant  to  FCC  Public  Notice  DA  04-­‐1705.   The  applicant  understands  that  until  such  time  that  Industry  Canada  distinguishes  between  Short  Term  and   Permanent  Confidentiality,  either  type  of  marked  exhibit  above  will  simply  be  marked  Confidential  when   submitted  to  IC.   Sincerely,   By:   Director,  Manufacturing  and  Quality,      Richard  Rasor   (Signature/Title2)          (Printed  name)   2 - Must be signed by applicant contact given for applicant on the FCC site, or by the authorized agent if an appropriate authorized agent letter has been provided. Letters should be placed on appropriate letterhead. Fitbit,  Inc.   405  Howard  Street,  Suite  550  |  San  Francisco,  CA    94105   www.fitbit.com
