Non-substantive Change Request

Federal Communications Commission

Explanation of Non-Substantive Changes to OMB Control Number: 3060-0806:

• FCC Forms 470 and 471

Purpose of this Submission: This submission is being made to OMB for a non-substantive change request to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to modify: The FCC Forms 470 and 471, which are contained in an online database.

Summary of Proposed Updates to the FCC Forms 470 and 471:

• Removal of Voice Services from Form: The 2014 E-rate Order, Modernizing the E-rate Program for Schools and Libraries, WC Docket No. 13-184, Order, 29 FCC Rcd 8870 (2014), began a phasedown of E-rate support for voice services beginning in funding year 2015. When the phasedown is complete in funding year 2019, voice services will no longer be eligible for E-rate support. Accordingly, options for selecting voice services will no longer be available on the online FCC Forms 470 or 471 commencing July 1, 2018.

• Online Portal Field Descriptions: We propose to update the field descriptions to note that voice services will no longer be available in the online forms effective July 1, 2018.

• There is a slight decrease in the burden hours due to voice services no longer being available in the online forms. There are no costs associated with this collection.
