It involves the correction of licensing data errors detected through integrity reports obtained by searching the ULS database. The data must be correct to prepare for specific auctions of certain radio services that have been placed in the ULS but have not yet been auctioned. The Commission will issue a series of Public Notices to conduct database corrections for services that are migrating to ULS. We have included Broadband Licensing System

(BLS)licensees in this collection. This data aids in spectrum management and provides for an efficient graphical user interface for each potential auction participant. *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0947. *Title:* Section 101.1327, Renewal Expectancy for EA Licensees. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 18,820. *Estimated Time Per Response:* .50 “ 20 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Every 10 year reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 284,653 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $18,820. *Needs and Uses:* The information required by Section 101.1327 is used to determine whether a renewal applicant of a Multiple Address System has complied with the requirement to provide substantial service by the end of the ten-year initial license term. The FCC uses the information to determine whether an applicant's license will be renewed at the end of the license period. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary.
