This OMB control number applies to all of the information collection requirements added by the FCC's implementation of Section 302 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This collection also includes the FCC Form 1275, Open Video Certification of Compliance which can be filed in electronic format. The Commission should continue to work on implementing a mechanism that allows parties to file the Form 1275 and other notices electronically -- rather than submitting electronic materials via the mail. OMB encourages the FCC to rely on existing mechanisms for collection information related to regulations associated with Section 302. The FCC has permission to use a date of issue for the FCC 1275 rather than an expiration date.
