Abstract:
In its March 2012 supporting statement which was submitted and approved by OMB, the Commission implemented some of the information collections required by this Order, FCC 11-161, but also noted that at a later date it planned to submit additional revisions or new requirements for OMB to review and approval to address other reforms adopted in the Order. This current revision addresses those additional requirements. See the uploaded supporting statement for the specific requirements. Note: There are no changes to FCC Form 525 which is part of this information collection. However, the Commission is requesting OMB approval for a new FCC Form 481, Annual Reporting Form for High-Cost Recipients and other new and modified information collection requirements.
