continue to encourage electronic filing of this information. The
FCC should also verify that the statements required by the Debt
Collection Improvement Act of 1996 are incorporated in the form and
its instructions, verify that the Privacy Act and Paperwork
Reduction Act statements are explicit, and that the form is
consistent in its use of the Taxpayer or Employer Identification
Number (TIN/EIN). Finally, the FCC will redact this number from any
completed form made available to the public and will modify the
Privacy Act statement to inform the public that this information
will not be provided to the public.
