Service Provider and Billed Entity Identification Number and Contact Information Form

This submission is being made for a non-substantive change request to existing information collections pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. The Commission seeks to change the FCC Form 498 and Instructions (OMB Control No. 3060-0824). The Administrator of the universal service support mechanisms must obtain contact and remittance information from service providers participating in the federal universal service High-cost, Low-income, Rural Health Care, and Schools and Libraries programs. The Administrator uses FCC Form 498 to collect service provider name, phone numbers, other contact information, and remittance information from universal service fund participants to enable the Administrator to perform its universal service disbursement functions under 47 CFR Part 54. FCC Form 498 allows fund participants to direct remittance to third parties or receive payments directly from the Administrator.
