    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60

is reporting no change in the estimated number of respondents/responses 
and/or burden hours.
    The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) of the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) conducts audit(s) of the construction 
and/operational status of various wireless radio stations in its 
licensing database that are subject to rule-based construction and 
operational requirements. The Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.80, 90.155 
and 90.157, for these wireless services require construction within a 
specified time frame and require a station to remain operational in 
order for the license to remain valid. The Commission sends a License 
Audit Letter to the wireless licensee requesting that they respond to 
the instructions in the letter (and

[[Page 12131]]

applicable rules) within 30 calendar days from the date on the letter.
    This reporting requirement will be used by Commission staff to 
assure that licensees' stations are constructed and currently operating 
in accordance with the parameters of the current FCC authorization and 
rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
