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, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 currently valid OMB control number.

of consummated assignments and transfers of wireless and/or public 
safety licenses that have previously been consented to by the 
Commission or for which notification but not prior consent is required.

Services, Personal Communications Services, General Wireless 
Communications Services, Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Broadcast 
Auxiliary Services, Maritime Service (excluding ships), and Aviation 
Services (excluding aircraft). The purpose of the form is to obtain

qualifications, classify the filing, and determine the nature of the 
proposed service. Various technical schedules are required along with
