Justification for Non substantive change

Justification for Non-Substantial Changes to FCC Informal Complaint of Discrimination and the Formal Complaint of Discrimination Forms

OMB Control No. 3060-1237

The Commission is requesting approval for non-substantive changes to the forms associated with the FCC’s Informal Complaint of Discrimination (FCC Form 5621) and the FCC’s Formal Complaint of Discrimination (FCC Form 5622)

As part of the development of an online application for its informal and formal complaint process, the FCC discovered that there were inconsistencies in the Privacy Act Statements included on these forms and the FCC’s online application for submitting complaints which could prove confusing to complainants, and could potentially provide insufficient information about the Privacy Act routine uses and whether submitting information is mandatory or voluntary. To remedy this issue, the FCC has revised its Privacy Act Statements on both forms.

The updates to this collection will cause no change in the burden estimates or reporting and record keeping requirements that the Commission submitted (and which OMB subsequently approved) in 2017 and extended in 2020.
