Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency may not

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.

is not required to complete a Privacy Impact Assessment.

for confidentiality. On a case by case basis, the Commission may be 
required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the 
location, character, or ownership of a historic property, including 
traditional religious sites.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 60 
day comment period in order to obtain the full three year clearance 
from them. The Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the 
reporting requirement) of this information collection. The Commission 
is reporting no change in the estimated number of respondents/responses 
and/or burden hours.
    The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) of the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) conducts audit(s) of the construction 
and/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, 47 CFR 1.80, 90.155 
and 90.157, 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 sends a License 
Audit Letter to the wireless licensee requesting that they respond to 
the instructions in the letter (and

[[Page 12131]]

applicable rules) within 30 calendar days from the date on the letter.
    This reporting requirement will be used by Commission staff to 
assure that licensees' stations are constructed and currently operating 
in accordance with the parameters of the current FCC authorization and 
rules.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
