FCC Seeks Paperwork Burden Relief
The FCC is asking the public for ideas to reduce paperwork burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, with special attention to ways to further reduce the information-collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. You can comment on whether collections are necessary, how to make forms clearer, and how to use automated techniques to cut time spent filling them out.
No Penalty Without Valid OMB Number
The FCC reminds that it may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The notice states that no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
