and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 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 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.

checks and failures, if any, and corrective action taken. The
maintenance records could be used by the licensee or Commission filed
personnel to note any recurring equipment problems or conditions that
may lead to degraded equipment performance and/or interference
generation. The records regarding tower lighting are required to ensure
that the licensee is aware of tower light condition and proper
operation, in order to prevent and/or correct any hazards to air
navigation.
