sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed

quarter in which the filing is submitted. The Commission adopted 
modified reporting requirements to collect information necessary to 
evaluate individual contributors' contributions to the universal

911 services.
