Because this is a rulemaking, OMB expects that the proposed collection will be revised to reflect the FCC Report and Order. Under this clearance number, the FCC has authority to collect the information, require recordkeeping, and impose third-party disclosure requirements as necessary to implement Sections 260, 274, and 275 of the Telecommunications Act. This includes any compliance audits, filing of exceptions and corrective actions, separate affiliate reporting requirements and complaint processes. OMB encourages the FCC to investigate the potential for sunsetting these requirements as competition and other factors allow.
