30, 2003. The full text of this document is available for inspection 
and copying during normal business hours in the Federal Communications 
Commission Reference Center, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20554. The complete text may be purchased from the Federal 
Communications Commission's copy contractor, Qualex International, 445

    1. On July 8, 2003 the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau will mail 
its second audit letter and notice of cancellation to certain licensees 
operating in the 220-222 MHz band. The audit, which includes licenses 
in the QT, QD, and QO radio services, is being performed to determine 
the operational status of these licenses. The audit was announced on 
April 9, 2003 and began on May 14, 2003.
    2. Each licensee to whom this second audit letter and notice of 
cancellation is being sent must respond and certify by August 7, 2003 
that its authorized stations have not discontinued operations for one 
year or more.
    3. Audit letters are mailed to licensees at their address of record 
in the Universal Licensing System. If a licensee receives more than one 
audit letter, they must respond to each letter sent by the Commission 
in order to account for all of its call signs that are part of the 
audit. Licensees can use the Audit Search at http://wireless.fcc.gov/licensing/audits/220 to determine if a particular call sign is part of 
the audit. If the Audit Search shows a letter was mailed, the licensee 
is required to respond to the audit even though the audit letter may 
not have been received. For instructions on how to proceed in this 
instance, licensees should call the Commission at 717-338-2888 or 888-
CALLFCC (888-225-5322) and select option 2.
    4. The process for responding to the audit is included in the 
second audit letter and notice of cancellation. A response is mandatory 
and must be submitted electronically by August 7, 2003. Failure to 
provide a timely response to the second audit letter and notice of 
cancellation may result in the Commission presuming that the station 
has been non-operational for one year or more, and thus the license may 
be presumed to have automatically cancelled. Failure to provide a 
timely response may also result in enforcement action, including 
monetary forfeiture,
