FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

December 19, 2003.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
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 (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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before January 30, 2004. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within 
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th 
Street SW., DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0893.
    Title: Universal Licensing Service (ULS) Database Corrections.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 4,442 respondents; 21,000 responses.

    Needs and Uses: This collection is necessary to ensure that the ULS 
database is as accurate as possible. It involves the correction of 
licensing data errors detected through integrity reports obtained by 
searching the ULS database. The data must be correct to prepare for 
specific auctions of certain radio services that have been placed in 
the ULS but have not yet been auctioned. The Commission will issue a 
series of Public Notices to conduct database corrections for services 
that are migrating to ULS. We have included Broadband Licensing System 
(BLS) licensees in this collection. This data aids in spectrum 
management and provides for an efficient graphical user interface for 
each potential auction participant.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0947.
