Notice

Summary

The FCC is asking the public and other agencies to help review some paperwork rules to make sure they’re useful and not too much of a hassle. They want to cut down on extra work, especially for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. If you have thoughts, now’s the time to share before any changes happen!

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

No Penalty Without OMB Number

If an FCC information collection does not display a currently valid OMB control number, the FCC may not conduct or sponsor that collection and no person can be penalized for failing to comply with it. The rule ties the legal enforceability of FCC paperwork to the presence of a valid OMB control number.

Paperwork Burden Focus on Very Small Firms

The FCC is seeking ways to minimize paperwork burdens and is specifically asking for ways to reduce the burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. This review could lead to future changes aimed at reducing reporting or form-filling requirements for firms with under 25 employees.
