Summary
The FCC is checking in with the public and other agencies to make sure its paperwork isn’t too much of a hassle. They want to know if the info they collect is really needed, clear, and easy to handle—especially for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. This is a chance to help shape how the FCC collects info, so it’s faster, smarter, and less annoying, with no surprise costs or penalties.
