Carriers may petition for "forbearance" from provisions of the Act and/or the FCC rules. Under the statute the FCC must make 3 complex determinations within 1 year. To act within 1 year, and to present a stable petition for comment, the FCC requires forbearance petitioners to state with specificity all relevant provisions, rules, carriers, services, geographic areas, and other factors; to apply each statutory criterion to each rule; to identify needed data that the petitioner lacks; to meet routine filing requirements at 47 C.F.R §1.49; and to send the petition to [email protected], together with supporting data (including market data) and any supporting statements.

There are decreases to the total number of respondents, total annual responses and total burden hours which are due to a reduction in the number of forbearance petitions that the Commission estimates will be submitted annually (from 2 to 1). Also, the respondents’ burden hours are reduced by half (from 1,280 to 640 hours). There are no program changes since the last submission to OMB.
