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(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 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 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before December 5, 2003. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

licensing data errors detected through integrity reports obtained by 
searching the ULS database. This data must be corrected to prepare for 
specific auctions of certain radio services that have been placed in 
the ULS but have not yet been auctioned. This data aids in spectrum

maintenance records could be used by the licensee or Commission filed 
personnel to note any recurring equipment problems or conditions that 
may lead to degraded equipment performance and/or interference 
generation. The records regarding tower lighting are required to ensure 
that the licensee is aware of tower light condition and proper 
operation, in order to prevent and/or correct any hazards to air 
navigation.
