OMB had to reenter a change worksheet that was dated October 15, 1998 because OMB did not process it correctly. The FCC shall revise the Paperwork Reduction Act/Privacy statement in the instructions to reflect the new format agreed to by OMB and FCC. This includes the statement that the public does not have to complete an information collection that lacks a currently valid OMB control number. FCC also has permission to add the TIN number provided appropriate modifications are made to the FCC 600. FCC should also add guidance regarding use of electronic signatures on forms filed electronically. The FCC has permission to use an edition date vice an expiration date.
