Abstract: The Commission is submitting this revised information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of minor adjustments needed for the filing of informal complaints alleging violations of Section 255, 716, or 718 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the Commission's regulations implementing those provisions. Pursuant to the new enforcement rules that will go into effect on October 8, 2013, informal complaints alleging violations of Section 255 will no longer be filed on FCC Form 2000C. Instead, informal complaints alleging violations of Sections 255, 716, or 718 will be filed on new FCC Form 2000H. In addition, a new Request for Dispute Assistance form (FCC Form RDA) will be used to initiate the 30-day period that must precede the filing of these informal complaints. The burdens associated with filing the new 2000H and RDA forms were contained in and have been removed from OMB collection 3060-1167. All information collection burdens associated with submission of FCC complaint forms, including modification of the 2000C Form and the creation of the new 2000H and RDA Forms, are consolidated into this collection.
