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.

80), Aviation (Part 87), and Experimental (Part 5) Radio Services
submit FCC 703 whenever it is proposed to change, as by transfer of

Communications Act of 1934, as amended; 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, as this information is submitted on FCC

being updated, too.

confirm that service has been made available to at least 30 percent of
the population or land area within three years of license grant, and 50
percent of the population or land area within five years of license
grant. The data collected ensure that licensees are making proper use
of the frequency spectrum.
