OMB strongly
supports the FCC efforts to consolidate all data collections that
involve reporting of service revenues and hopes that these
collections will be done electronically. The FCC shall include
information on the FCC 487 regarding what geographical locations
(states) belong to each of the LNP regions so that small entities
can correctly respond to this collection. Finally, the FCC shall
ensure that the contractor, Lockheed Martin, does not misuse this
information and that is is solely used to administer the LNP
requirements. The FCC shall obtain OMB permission before allowing
the contractor to use this information for any other purpose.
