full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has revised FCC 
Form 603 to include Gross Revenue/Total Assets; add a question if 
application being filed is the lead application of a series of 
applications; remove data element for the option of a previous census 
population on Schedule B; and clarify existing questions/instructions 
of the general public as noted in the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    The FCC uses the information on the FCC Form 603 to determine 
whether the applicant is legally, technically and financially qualified 
to obtain licenses. Without such information, the Commission cannot 
determine whether to issue the licenses to the applicants that provide 
telecommunications services to the public; and therefore, to fulfill 
its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended. Information provided on the form will also be 
used to update the database and provide for proper use of the frequency 
spectrum.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
