desirable. In order to enable the Commission to make an informed 
decision on the desirability of such waivers, applicants are required 
to submit information justifying why a waiver is needed.

points, number of mobile units, interconnection status, and/or sharing 
status to notify the Commission. This information collection applies 
only to licensees who elect to inform the Commission by letter of these 
changes. Licensees may also use forms to notify us of these changes. 
Notification is necessary to maintain an accurate database that is used 
by both the Commission, frequency coordinators and the public in 
corresponding with licensees regarding interference resolution and 
licensing matters.

OMB Approval No.: 3060-0281.

    Needs and Uses: The radio facilities addressed in this subpart of 
the rules are allocated on and governed by regulations designed to 
award facilities on a need basis determined by the number of mobile 
units served by each base station. This is necessary to avoid frequency 
hoarding by applicants. This rule section requires licensees to report 
the actual number of mobile units served. The various subparagraphs of 
this rule apply to different categories of licensees and define exactly 
what reports are required of each category.
