to apply for a license to construct and/or operate a transmit/receive 
earth station, a transmit-only earth station; to register a domestic 
receive-only earth station; to license an international receive only 
earth station; or to modify a granted license or registration. The form

revised to display the 05/31/97 expiration date, to incorporate the fee 
data processing elements, and to incorporate the certification required

system is operating efficiently.
