Summary
The FCC is checking in with the public and agencies to make sure its paperwork isn’t too tricky or time-consuming. They want to know if the info they collect is useful, clear, and fair—especially for small businesses. This is a chance to help shape how the FCC gathers info, with no penalties if forms don’t have the right approval number.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Chance for Small Businesses to Trim Paperwork
The FCC is asking the public and agencies to comment on its information collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. It specifically requests ideas to reduce the burden on respondents and to minimize paperwork burdens on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
No Penalty If OMB Number Is Missing
The FCC says it may not collect information unless a current OMB control number is shown, and no one can be penalized for failing to comply with a collection that does not display a valid OMB control number. This follows the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and protects people who receive such forms.
