Abstract: The Commission is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). FCC is requesting approval for e-mail to be a mandatory data element collected via FCC form 160, OMB Control Number 3060-0917, Cores Registration Form and FCC Form 161, OMB Control Number, 3060-0918, Cores Update/Change Form to improve security and streamline our automated procedures for creating FCC Registration Accounts and resetting the associated password. This information that applicants (entities) submit on FCC Form 161 is used to change or update information in the CORES system for entity's name, address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), telephone number, email, fax, contact representative address, telephone number, email and fax. The Commission Registration System (CORES) assigns each entity doing business with the Commission a FCC Registration Number (FRN). The FRN is used to collect and to report any delinquent amounts arising from such applicant's (entity's) relationship with the FCC. The respondents are anyone doing business with the FCC. This form now includes a "certification statement" and a "signature line."
