Paperwork relief for very small businesses
If you run a small business with fewer than 25 employees, the FCC is asking for specific public comment on how to further reduce the information-collection paperwork burden for such small business concerns under the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002. This is an opportunity to suggest ways the FCC can lower reporting or form burdens imposed by FCC information collections.
OMB control number protects respondents
The FCC 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 Paperwork Reduction Act that does not display a valid OMB control number.
