    Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information 
collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting requirements) 
in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from them.
    The Commission conducts an audit of the construction and/or 
operational status of various wireless radio stations in its licensing 
database that are subject to rule-based construction and operational 
requirements. The Commission's rules for these wireless services 
require construction within a specified time frame and require a 
station to remain operational in order for the license to remain valid. 
The Commission uses this information to ensure that licensees' stations 
are constructed and currently operating in accordance with the 
parameters of the current FCC authorization and rules.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
