    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 of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 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.
    
    DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before July 19, 1999.

        Needs and Uses: Commission rules require that auction participants

    to ensure that license winners are entitled to receive the new entrant 
    bidding credit, if possible. Exhibits regarding joint bidding 
    agreements are designed to prevent collusion. Submission of engineering 
    data for non-table services enables the Commission to determine which 
    applications are mutually exclusive.

    and ITFS will simplify two-way licensing and provide greater 
    flexibility in the use of the allotted spectrum to licensees. These 
    changes will eliminate market entry barriers for small entities. The 
    Commission will use this information to ensure that MDS and ITFS 
    applicants, conditional licensees and licensees have considered 
    properly the potential for harmful interference from their facilities.
