You can comment to cut FCC paperwork
You can submit public comments to the FCC about its information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The FCC is asking whether its forms are necessary, useful, and clear and for ideas to reduce burden and delays for people and businesses that must fill out FCC forms.
Small businesses (<25 employees) get special focus
The FCC specifically asks for ways to minimize collection burdens on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. If you run or work for a small business under 25 employees, the FCC is seeking ideas to reduce paperwork or use automated collection to lower your burden.
No penalty without valid OMB control number
The FCC says it cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (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 people and businesses who are asked to fill FCC forms that lack a valid OMB number.
