amended; International Treaties and FCC Rules - 47 CFR Parts 1.922, 
80.19 and 80.29. The data collected is necessary to evaluate a request

Fixed Station, to issue licenses, and to update the database to allow 
proper management of the frequency spectrum.FCC Form 503 is being 
revised to collect Antennna Structure Registration Number/or FCC Form 
854 File Number; and Internet or E-Mail address of applicant. Due to 
changes in the antenna clearance procedures we no longer need to 
collect certain antenna information, such as name of the nearest 
aircraft landing area and distance and direction to nearest runway. The 
instruction are being edited accordingly.
