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, 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 August 9,
1999. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications
Commissions, 445 12th Street, S.W., Room 1-A804, Washington, DC 20554
or via the Internet to lesmith@fcc.gov.

Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Time Per Response: 36 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Reporting, on occasion.
Total Annual Burden: 1200 hours.
Needs and Uses: This collection of information is used to determine
eligibility for licenses. Without this information, violations of
ownership regulations could occur. FCC Rules require that applicants in
the Private Land Mobile (Part 90), General Mobile (Part 95), Marine
(Part 80), Aviation (Part 87) and Experimental (Part 5) Radio Services
submit FCC 703 whenever it is proposed to change, as by transfer of
stock ownership, the control of a station.

International Radio Regulations, General Secretariat of International
Telecommunications Union and FCC Rules--47 CFR 1.922, 1.924, 5.55,
80.19, 87.21, 87.31, 90.119, and 95.111.
The form is being revised to delete the collection of payment type
information. This information is submitted on FCC Form 159 (Remittance
Advice) now required with any payment to the FCC. The instructions,
privacy act and public burden statements are being updated as well. The
number of respondents and total annual burden have increased as the
result of a re-evaluation of receipts. Total burden per response
remains at 36 minutes. Total respondent costs are being adjusted to
$90,000 as the result of increase in respondents.
