FCC Information Collection Submitted for OMB Review and Approval Under Paperwork Reduction Act
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has submitted an information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval, as mandated by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. This notice invites public comment and input from other federal agencies on the proposed information collection before it is finalized. Under the PRA, the FCC is prohibited from conducting or sponsoring any information collection that does not carry a valid OMB control number. Individuals and entities are also protected from penalties for failing to comply with information collections that lack a valid OMB control number, providing a key legal safeguard for the public. The FCC is also specifically seeking comment from small businesses with fewer than 25 employees, as required by the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, to identify ways to further reduce the reporting burden on smaller organizations. This reflects an ongoing federal commitment to minimizing administrative overhead for small business concerns.
