Paperwork Burden Focus for Tiny Businesses
The FCC is asking for ideas to reduce the paperwork burden, with special attention to small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The agency seeks ways to make forms clearer, use automated collection techniques, and reduce time spent filling out information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
No Penalty Without Valid OMB Control Number
The FCC reminds the public that it may not collect information unless the form displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid OMB control number.
