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
Commissions burden estimates; (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 comments should be submitted on or before June 20, 1997.
If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it

[[Page 27735]]
Applicants using this form are not eligible for employment in the
United States but need an operator permit because they hold an Aircraft
Pilot Certificate which is valid in the U.S. and need to operate
aircraft radio stations or they hold an FCC radio station license and
will use the permit for operation of that particular station. The
number of respondents has been increased from 800 to 1,000, attributed
to a re-evaluation of receipts. The form is being revised to add a
space for the applicant to provide an Internet address. This will
provide an additional option of reaching the applicant should the FCC
have any questions concerning the application. The drug certification
is being incorporated into the certification text prior to applicant
signature and the requirement to check a ``yes/no'' block eliminated.
The request for applicant's mailing address ``state'' is being changed
to ``state/country'' to accomodate foreign mailing addresses. The
Commission will redact the applicant birthdate from information
available for public view.
Federal Communications Commission
LaVera F. Marshall,
Acting Secretary.
