In 2011, the Commission adopted a new and modified certification process for Internet-based TRS (iTRS) providers to ensure that iTRS providers receiving certification are qualified to provide iTRS in compliance with the Commission's rules, and to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse through improved oversight of such providers.
US Code:
47 USC 225
Name of Law: Communications Act of 1934, as amended
There are adjustments to the total annual number of respondents, total annual number of responses and total annual burden hours due to the re-evaluation of certain information collection requirements.
Due to the adjustments, the OMB inventory should now reflect the following burdens: annual number of respondents decreased by -13, from 28 respondents to 15 number of respondents; annual number of responses increased by +2, from 89 responses to 91 annual number of responses, and annual burden hours decreased by -515, from 934 hours to 419 annual burden hours.
There are no program changes to this information collection.
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).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
