Abstract: In Public Law 104-134, section 31001, the FCC is required to collect the taxpayer identification number from any individual or firm doing business with it. In the case of an individual, that number is the person's social security number; in the case of a business, it is the employer identification number as assigned by the Internal Revenue Service. The information will be used by the FCC and the U.S. Treasury for the purposes of collecting and reporting any delinquent amounts arising out of such person's relationship with the Federal Government. The respondents are anyone doing business with the FCC.
