The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is requesting public comments on their efforts to collect information, as part of their ongoing mission to reduce paperwork, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Feedback is specifically sought on whether the information collection is vital for the FCC's functions, its accuracy, and its impact on small businesses. The FCC highlights the obligations under certain sections of the Communications Act, detailing requirements for toll-free numbers and pay-per-call services, to protect consumer rights and ensure clear billing information. Public comments should be sent by February 3, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to hear what people think about their plan to collect information and make sure they’re not making things too hard or confusing. They want ideas on how they can do this in a way that's less work, especially for smaller businesses.
