will be approved for one year.

The revised FCC Form 475 allows the
Commission to collect detailed data from consumers on the practices
of common carriers. The information contained in the collection
will allow consumers to provide the Commission with the relevant
information required and help consumers to develop a concise
statement outlining the issue in dispute. The information will then
be used to assist in the resolution of informal complaints and to
collect data required to assess the practices of common carriers.
FCC Form 475 has been revised streamlining information
requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
