Although the FCC originally requested that this collection be reviewed on an emergency basis, OMB has delayed approval of the collection to allow the FCC to incorporate a number of changes proposed in public comments. The FCC has done this. OMB grants the FCC a regular clearance because of the incorporation of comments and a review time of more than 30 days.
