    The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) of the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) conducts audits 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 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 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.
