SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following proposed and/or continuing information collections, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.L. 104-13. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject 
to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a 
valid control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected and (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.

    Total Costs to all Respondents: $2,155,675.
    Needs and Uses: This ``generic'' renewal application, FCC Form 900, 
may be used in lieu of FCC forms 313R, 402R, 405, 405A, 405B, 452R, 
574R and 610R, to file electronically for renewal of a Wireless Radio 
Services authorization. Concurrent with renewal, applicants may also 
request a change of licensee name (with no change to corporate 
structure, ownership or constrol), chage of mailing address, change the 
name of their ship, add an official ship number, reinstate a Land 
Mobile license, and notify the Commission of a change in the number of 
mobiles/pagers for a Land Mobile license. This ``generic'' renwal form 
will greatly reduce the burden to the applicants and provide an 
immediate confirmation that the renwal has been filed giving them 
continued authority to operate until the renewed license has been 
received.

Federal Communications Commission.
