Summary
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might further reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The Commission 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 PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
VoIP Providers Face Paperwork Burden
If you are a business that provides interconnected VoIP services and apply for or hold a VoIP Numbering Authorization, you are subject to information collection under OMB Control Number 3060-1214. The collection covers 120 respondents and 160 responses, takes an estimated 15-55 hours per response, results in a total annual burden of 2,600 hours, and has a total annual cost of $31,200 with one-time, ongoing, and bi-annual reporting requirements.
Revisions Aim To Curb Illegal Robocalls
The FCC says the revisions to this information collection are necessary to help stem illegal robocalls, protect the nation's numbering resources from abuse by foreign bad actors, and advance public safety and national security objectives tied to numbering. These changes are intended to make it harder for bad actors to obtain and misuse phone numbers.
Small-Business Burden Reduction Comment Request
The FCC specifically asks for comments on how to reduce the information-collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. Comments must be submitted by August 27, 2026, via www.reginfo.gov and also emailed to Nicole Ongele at the addresses listed in the notice.

Next: 2026-15181, Notice of Actions in Section 301 Investigations of Acts, Policies, and Practices of Various Economies Related to the Failure of Each Economy To Impose and Effectively Enforce a Prohibition on the Importation of Goods Produced With Forced Labor
The United States Trade Representative (Trade Representative) has determined under Section 301(b) and Section 304(a) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act), that in each of 60 investigations, certain of the acts, policies, and practices of the economy at issue are actionable and that action by the United States is appropriate. In accordance with the specific direction of the President, the Trade Representative is taking actions in each of these investigations by imposing tariffs on all products of the investigated economy, with certain exemptions as provided in Annexes I and II to this notice (Notice). Consistent with the specific direction of the President, for an economy that imposes a forced labor import prohibition, has committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART), or has imposed a partial regime with the effect of preventing the importation of certain forced labor goods, the Trade Representative has determined 10 percent is the appropriate rate of Section 301 duties, with specific economies subject to a 10 percent rate net of a product's most-favored-nation (MFN) duty. For every other economy, and in accordance with the specific direction of the President, the Trade Representative has determined 12.5 percent is the appropriate rate of Section 301 duty, with specific economies subject to a 12.5 percent rate net of a product's MFN duty. The Trade Representative has also determined, consistent with the specific direction of the President, to establish, when feasible, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) for Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia, based on each economy's importation of U.S. inputs, to encourage the importation by each of these economies of U.S. cotton and textile goods, in order to reduce reliance on inputs from other sources that are more likely to contain forced labor inputs.
