FCC Seeks Feedback On A Puerto Rico Radio Astronomy Paperwork Form

## Summary

The FCC is checking in on a paperwork process that helps protect radio astronomy in Puerto Rico. They want your thoughts on how to make this info collection easier and clearer, especially for small businesses. If you have ideas, send them by August 18, 2025—no fees or penalties involved, just a chance to help shape the rules!

## Abstract

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

- Applicants must notify Arecibo for Puerto Rico sites: cost, low.

The collection covers 1,200 respondents and 10…
- FCC estimates no monetary filing costs: benefit, low. The FCC reports Total Annual Costs: No cost for this information collection (OMB Control No. 3060-0698). The collection is characterized by time burdens (3,500 annual hours) but no estimated monetary cost to respondents.
- Small businesses (<25 employees) singled out for burden relief: benefit, low. The FCC specifically requests comments on ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees; comments are due by August 18, 2025. This is an explicit effort to consider small-business paperwork relief as part of the Paperwork Reduction…
- Information collection will be submitted for 3‑year OMB clearance: cost, low. The FCC will submit the expiring information collection to the Office of Management and Budget after the 60-day comment period to obtain a three-year clearance, meaning the reporting and notification requirements are slated to continue for the next three-year clearance period if approved.
