The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public and federal agency comments on its information collection standards as part of its effort to reduce paperwork burdens, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This includes proposals to improve the quality and clarity of collected information and reduce the burden on small businesses. One of the key areas under review is the modification of rules for FM digital broadcasting. These changes aim to facilitate greater coverage for digital FM radio by allowing asymmetric sideband operations with different power levels, simplifying notification procedures, and potentially reducing costs for licensees.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to know if the way they collect information is helpful or makes things too complicated, and they are asking people and businesses to share their thoughts. They're especially interested in making rules for digital FM radios easier to follow and less stressful for small businesses.
