continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 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 estimate; (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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before December 16, 
1999. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

of the Universal Licensing System (ULS). Form 601 is a multi-part form 
comprising a main form containing administrative information and a 
series of schedules used to file technical information. The purpose of 
this revision is to make the necessary changes to convert the Private 
Operational and Fixed Microwave Services to the Universal Licensing 
System (ULS), implemented on August 30, 1999. The Commission received 
OMB approval for the Microwave schedule previously, however, with 
continuing development and implementation of ULS for Microwave service, 
further changes were required to this collection prior to 
implementation. The information is used by the Commission to determine 
whether the applicant is legally, technically, and financially 
qualified to be licensed.
