FCC Seeks Input to Cut Small-Business Paperwork
The FCC is asking the public — and specifically small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees — to comment on ways to reduce the paperwork burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 and the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002. If you run a small business with under 25 employees, the agency is requesting your specific ideas for making forms easier and less time-consuming.
No Penalty Without Valid OMB Control Number
The notice reiterates that the Commission may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it 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 PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
