The transmitter, models ECP and FC, are 12 kHz battery powered, magnetic field transmitters located in a drill head. The transmitter is part of an underground, horizontal drilling system, manufactured by Digital Control, Inc. The two models are electrically and mechanically identical. They differ only in color and software not affecting compliance. Confidentiality requested for allowed files. Request is properly addressed and referenced. Recommendation All items have been resolved and completed to my satisfaction; therefore I recommend this application for approval. Signature Dave Tolman, TCB Committee 3/31/2011

The FCC ID number for this product is KKGA050316. The product is an underground low frequency (12 kHz) magnetic field transmitter powered via a cable attached to a free- standing battery. The transmitter is part of a system that is used for guiding purposes in a horizontal directional drilling operation. The DigiTrak® ECP and FC transmitters differ only in the color and software changes not effecting compliance. The ECP and FC models are electrically and mechanically identical. The method, equipment, and materials used in the manufacture are also the same. Sincerely, ~ ~ ~~ k:. 't----- Bruce E. Kolpack Digital Control Inc. 19625 62 nd Ave. South, Suite B103 Kent WA, 98032

WASHINGTON 98032 USA PHONE 425-251·0701 ·FAX 425·251·0702· www.digitrBk.com March 18,2011 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 To whom it may concern, We hereby respectfully request that, under the provisions of 47 CFR § 0.459, the documents listed below and attached with this application for certification be provided with confidential status and not made routinely available for public inspection: (1) Schematics. pdf (2) Operational Description.pdf (3) Frequency Block Diagram.pdf Any exhibitlinfonnation for which we have requested confidentiality, but which may not be accorded such treatment by the FCC, should be returned to us. The documents listed above contain company trade secrets. Significant engineering resources were expended designing the pa11s of the product shown in the schematics, frequency block diagram, and operational description. It is our belief that it would be difficult to reverse-engineer the product from publicly available information (including the product itself). Substantial competitive harm to us could therefore result should these documents be made available to the public. We face both domestic and foreign competition in our market (locating equipment for horizontal directional drilling), including product piracy (attempts at direct knock-offs). Disclosure of the documents listed above would provide our competitors and potential product pirates with an unfair competitive advantage, by allowing them to copy our technical solutions without the development expense. We protect this infOimation through the following primary procedures: (I) all employees and contractors are required to sign nondisclosure agreements, as are any visitors, vendors or other third parties who may be exposed to any confidential information, and (2) the information is only provided to employees and third parties on a "need to know" basis. The information is not publicly available, and is not included in our operating manuals or on our website. We are not aware of the infonnation listed above having been disclosed to any third party not bound by a nondisclosure agreement. The materials listed above should not be available for public disclosure at any time. Our products can remain in service for extended periods of time (more than ten or fifteen years), and the rate of significant technological change in our industry is sufficiently slow that even the copying by our competitors of technical information from many years in the past could result in the creation of a product that might be competitively harinful to us.
