FCC Seeks To Cut Paperwork Burdens
The FCC is asking the public to help reduce paperwork burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 so information collection is clearer and less of a hassle. You can comment on whether collections are useful, how to improve clarity, and how to reduce respondent burden.
Special Focus On Very Small Businesses
The FCC explicitly asks for ways to further reduce information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. If you run or represent a very small business, the FCC is seeking ideas to make paperwork easier and less costly for that group.
Protections When OMB Control Number Is Missing
The FCC says it cannot conduct or sponsor an information collection unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number, and no person may be penalized for failing to comply with a collection that does not display a valid OMB control number. This protects anyone asked to provide information from enforcement when the collection lacks a valid OMB number.
