FCC seeks to cut small-business paperwork
The FCC is asking the public how to reduce paperwork burdens and make information collections clearer and more useful, with special attention to minimizing burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. They specifically request ideas such as automated collection methods to lower time and effort for small businesses.
No penalty if OMB control number missing
The FCC reminded the public that the Commission may not conduct or sponsor an information collection unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number, and no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection that does not display a valid OMB control number. This protects anyone asked to provide information to the FCC from penalties when the required OMB number is not shown.
