Paperwork relief for very small businesses
If you run a small business, the FCC is asking for ideas to make its forms easier, clearer, and less time-consuming, with a specific focus on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The agency is seeking ways to minimize paperwork burden, including increased use of automated collection, to reduce the time and effort businesses spend on FCC forms.
No penalty if OMB number missing
You cannot be required to comply with an FCC information collection unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person will be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection that does not display a valid OMB control number.
