Reminder: You are not required to respond to a collection of information sponsored by the Federal government, and the government may not conduct or sponsor this collection, unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. This collection has been assigned an OMB control number of 3060-0824.
The Commission is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to collect the information we request in this form. We will use the information you provide for the Federal universal service billing, collections, and disbursement purposes. In addition, the Name, Address, DUNNS Number and Business Type will be disclosed in accordance with FFATA/DATA Act reporting requirements. If we believe there may be a violation or a potential violation of a state or Federal statute, or of a Commission regulation, rule, or order, your form may be referred to the Federal, state, or local agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, or order. In certain cases, the information in your application may be disclosed to the Department of Justice, a court, or adjudicative body when (a) the Commission; or (b) any employee of the Commission; or (c) the United States Government is a party of a proceeding before the body or has an interest in the proceeding. In addition, consistent with the Communications Act of 1934, FCC regulations and orders, the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, or other applicable law, information provided in or submitted with this form or in response to subsequent inquiries may be disclosed to the public.
If you owe a past due debt to the Federal government, the information you provide may also be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury Financial Management Service, other Federal agencies, and/or your employer to offset your salary, IRS tax refund, or other payments to collect that debt. The Commission may also provide the information to these agencies through the matching of computer records where authorized.
If you do not provide the information we request on the form, the Commission may delay processing of your application, or may return your application without action.
This Notice is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. We have estimated that each response to this collection of information will take, on average, 1.5 hours. Our estimate includes the time to read the instructions, look through existing records, gather and maintain the required data, and actually complete and review the form for response. If you have any comments on this estimate, or how we can improve the collections and reduce the burden it causes you, please write to the Federal Communications Commission, AMD-PERM, Washington D.C. 20554, Paperwork Reduction Project (3060-0824). We will also accept your comments via Internet if you send them to [email protected].
