FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested
February 3, 2011.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are
requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid 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 Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 11,
2011. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of

Needs and Uses: The rules adopted in the OI R&O establish a formal

resolved through other means, including the Commission's informal
complaint system. This process will permit individual end users, edge
providers, and other interested persons to file a claim alleging that
another party has violated a statute or rule, and asking the Commission
to rule on the dispute. The formal complaint rules will facilitate
prompt and effective enforcement of the rules adopted in the OI R&O,
which is crucial to preserving an open Internet and providing clear
guidance to stakeholders.
