The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comments on its information collection process, as part of efforts to reduce paperwork burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The FCC is interested in feedback regarding the necessity, practicality, and clarity of the collection, as well as ideas to minimize the burden on respondents, especially small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. The collection involves nearly 3,000 businesses responding to over 665,000 inquiries annually, with an average response time ranging from 1 to 20 minutes. All feedback should be submitted by April 25, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to make less paperwork for everyone, like when teachers ask kids to do less homework. They are asking people to tell them if what they are doing is important and how they can make it easier, especially for small businesses.
