information collected; 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; and 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0979.
    Title: License Audit Letter.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit entities, not-for-profit institutions and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 25,000 respondents; 25,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 155(c), 157, 201, 202, 208, 214, 301, 302a, 
303, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 314, 316, 319, 324, 331, 332, 333, 336,

    Total Annual Burden: 12,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. Records of the Wireless Radio 
Services may include information about individuals or households, and 
the use(s) and disclosure of this information is governed by the 
requirements of a system of records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services 
Licensing Records''. However, the Commission makes all information 
within the Wireless Radio Services publicly available on its Universal 
Licensing System (ULS) web page.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request 
materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from 
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of their rules. Information within 
Wireless Radio Services is maintained in the Commission's system or 
records notice or `SORN', FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing 
Records''. These licensee records are publicly available and routinely 
used in accordance with subsection b of the Privacy Act of 1973, 5 
U.S.C. 552a(b), as amended. Material that is afforded confidential 
treatment pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 
Commission's rules will not be available for public inspection. The 
Commission has in place the following policy and procedures for records 
retention and disposal: Records will be actively maintained as long as 
the individual remains a licensee. Paper records will be archived after 
being keyed or scanned into the system and destroyed when 12 years old; 
electronic records will be backed up and deleted twelve years after the 
licenses are no longer valid.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking OMB approval for an 
extension of this information collection in order to obtain their full 
three-year approval. There is no change to the reporting requirement. 
There is no change to the Commission's burden estimates. The Wireless 
Telecommunications (WTB) and Public Safety and Homeland Security 
Bureaus (PSHSB) of the FCC periodically conduct audits of the 
construction and/or operational status of various Wireless radio 
stations in its licensing database that are subject to rule-based 
construction and operational requirements. The Commission's rules for 
these Wireless services require construction within a specified 
timeframe and require a station to remain operational in order for the 
license to remain valid. The information will be used by FCC personnel 
to assure that licensees' stations are constructed and currently 
operating in accordance with the parameters of the current FCC 
authorization and rules.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
