This OMB control number applies to all of the information collection requirements added by the FCC's implementation of Section 302 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Specific changes and additions were made to Part 76 of the Commissions rules, including adding Subpart S. This collection also includes a new form, FCC Form 1275, Open Video Certification of Compliance which can be filed in electronic format. As an ongoing FCC regulatory proceeding, the Commission is strongly encouraged to rely on existing mechanisms for collecting information and exercising regulatory oversight. The FCC has permission to not use an expiration date on the FCC 1275 if a date of issue is used.
