Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
