Summary
The FCC is checking in on a form businesses and governments use to report interference problems with emergency and enterprise services. They want your feedback by January 26, 2026, to make sure the form is useful, clear, and not too much work—especially for small businesses. This review won’t cost extra but helps keep things running smoothly and saves time for everyone involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Short 30‑Minute Complaint Form
The FCC is extending information collection for the Enterprise Service and Public Safety Interference Complaint Intake Form (FCC-5624, OMB Control Number 3060-1230). Respondents (businesses, not-for-profits, and government entities) currently take an estimated 0.5 hours (30 minutes) per submission; the collection shows 400 responses and a total annual burden of 200 hours, and the FCC lists Total Annual Cost as "No Cost."
Focus on Small Businesses Under 25
The FCC specifically requests ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees and asks for PRA comments by January 26, 2026.
Single Online Portal for RF Interference
The FCC will use a single online RF interference intake portal for commercial spectrum licensees, licensees with public safety missions, and federal agencies to submit RF interference complaints; the portal is intended to help the Commission triage and assign complaints for investigation, mitigation, and enforcement.
