Abstract: The information collected is required for an audit of the construction and/or operational status of various Wireless Radio services in the Commission's licensing database that are subject to rule-based construction and operational requirements. The Commission's Rules for these radio services require construction within a specified time frame and require a station to remain operational in order for the license to remain valid. The Commission created a License Audit Letter instructing wireless licensees to respond to the instructions within 30 days of the date of the letter. This non-substantive change request is being submitted to OMB for approval to more accurately account for the number of respondents, responses and burden hours covered under this information collection. The burden for the Commission's previous submission was extremely over estimated. This submission captures the true estimated burden for the collection.
