FCC seeks to reduce small-business paperwork
The FCC is asking the public for comments on how to reduce the paperwork burden, with special attention to small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. They want ideas to make forms clearer, more useful, and less time-consuming, including use of automated collection to lower burden on small businesses.
No penalty if OMB number missing
The notice reminds that the FCC may not collect information without a valid OMB control number, and "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." This protects respondents from penalties when a required OMB number is not shown.
