FCC Information Collection Submitted for OMB Review Under Paperwork Reduction Act

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has submitted an information collection for review and approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. This notice invites the general public and other federal agencies to comment on the proposed information collection before OMB approval is granted. Under the PRA, the FCC is prohibited from conducting or sponsoring any information collection unless it carries a currently valid OMB control number. Failure to display such a control number means that no individual or entity can be penalized for non-compliance with that collection requirement. In accordance with the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, the FCC is specifically seeking input on how the information collection burden can be further reduced for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. This reflects an ongoing regulatory effort to minimize compliance costs for smaller entities. This notice is procedural in nature and does not impose new substantive regulatory requirements. Its purpose is to fulfill transparency and public participation obligations before finalizing any new or renewed information collection activity.
