Non-substantive Change Request

Non-Substantive Change Request for Information Collection

OMB CONTROL NO. 3060-0700

The Federal Communication Commission (Commission) is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for this information collection. On October 24, 2018, the Commission adopted the Modernization of Media Initiative-Procedural Revisions to the Filing of Open Video System Certification Applications, Order, FCC 18-150 (rel. Oct. 25, 2018).

The Commission modernized Open Video System (OVS) filing procedures by specifying that OVS applicants will be required to send certification applications, including FCC Form 1275 and all attachments, as well as notices of intent, via electronic email (e-mail) delivery to a designated Commission e-mail address. Currently, parties cannot submit these filings electronically. Instead, they must file paper copies of documents with the Office of the Secretary and the Office of the Chief of the Media Bureau. Electronic filing of OVS certification applications and notices of intent will make the process less burdensome for applicants and help ensure that these documents are timely received by Commission staff.

There are no other changes in the information collection. In the process of making this change, Commission staff took the opportunity to make a minor change to FCC Form 1275 in order to update the paragraph and section of the form that pertains to filing information and the requirement that a hard copy of FCC Form 1275 and all attachments must be filed with the Office of the Secretary and the Office of the Bureau Chief, Media Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.
