This submission is being made for proposed non-substantive changes to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to update (i) FCC Form 499-A; (ii) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-A; (iii) FCC Form 499-Q; and (iv) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-Q. On December 26, 2019, the Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on the proposed modifications (DA 19-1330). In response to the Public Notice, two stakeholders filed comments in support of the Commission’s proposed changes. An additional stakeholder suggested a modification to the Commission’s proposed change for the reporting of universal service support revenues. We agree that the stakeholder’s proposed modification will minimize any potential burden for filers complying with revenue reporting processes and have implemented the suggested change in the 499-A Instructions. This submission is being made for a non-substantive change request to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to update (i) FCC Form 499-A; (ii) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-A; (iii) FCC Form 499-Q; and (iv) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-Q. On December 21, 2018, the Commission issued a Public Notice seeking comment on the proposed changes (DA 18-1298). This submission is being made for a non-substantive change request to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to update (i) FCC Form 499-A; (ii) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-A; (iii) FCC Form 499-Q; and (iv) the accompanying instructions to FCC Form 499-Q. The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requires telecommunications carriers and other providers of telecommunications to contribute to the universal service fund and other funds. Contribution revenue data, as well as other information, are reported by carriers on FCC Forms 499-A (annual) and 499-Q (quarterly). Accompanying these forms are instructions on how to report revenue.
