No Penalty Without OMB Number
The FCC says it cannot collect or require you to submit information unless the form displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. If a collection does not show a valid OMB control number, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with that collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Request to Ease Paperwork for Very Small Businesses
The FCC is asking the public, and specifically small businesses with fewer than 25 employees, to comment on ways to reduce the time and burden of FCC forms and information collections. The request is made under the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002 and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to find ways to further reduce information collection burdens for those small business concerns.
