FCC asks to cut small-business paperwork

This request to comment is made under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and focuses on ways to minimize respondent burden, including using automated collection methods.
No penalty if OMB number missing
The FCC reminds the public that it cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. The notice says no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid OMB control number.
