following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or

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 estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before June 25, 1999. 
If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it

    Needs and Uses: The Fourth Report and Order, in WT Docket No. 97-

C Block Broadband PCS Spectrum to attach to its short-form application 
a statement indicating (under penalty of perjury) whether or not the 
applicant has ever been in default on any FCC licensees or has ever 
been delinquent on any non-tax debt owed to any Federal agency. This 
information allows the FCC to determine the amount of the upfront 
payment to be paid by each applicant and will help ensure that C Block 
Auctions are conducted fairly and efficiently, thereby speeding the 
flow of payments to the U.S. Treasury and accelerating the provision of 
PCS Spectrum to the public.

Federal Communications Commission.
