during this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from 
them. There is no change in the recordkeeping requirement. There is a 
5,976 hour burden reduction. This is due to 23,904 fewer respondents 
subject to the requirement. Therefore, the total annual burden hours 
have been reduced.
    The recordkeeping requirement in Section 87.103 is necessary to 
demonstrate that all transmitters in the Aviation Service are properly 
licensed in accordance with the requirements of Section 301 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, No. 2020 of the International 
Radio Regulation and Article 30 of the Convention on International 
Civil Aviation.
    The information is used by FCC personnel during inspections and 
investigations to insure the particular station is licensed and 
operated in compliance with applicable rules, statutes, and treaties. 
In the case of aircraft stations, the information may be utilized for 
similar purposes by appropriate representatives of foreign governments 
when the aircraft is operated in foreign nations.
