The FCC shall clarify the Privacy Act Statement by adding a specific citation of the Telecommunications Act regarding the authority to collect this information. The FCC shall also verify that this form does not need to be modified to reflect the Debt Collection Act. Finally, the FCC should verify the applicability of the penalties listed in Section 5 of the form for willful false statements as this collection is used for obtaining FCC equipment authorizations rather than licenses of broadcast stations.
