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

licenses within three years are required to maintain a file of all 
documents and contracts pertaining to the transfer. Certification is 
required for entities dropping out of auction to secure certain 
ownership interests in participants.
