(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC invited

Pursuant to the Small Business 

Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4), 

the FCC seeks specific comment on how 

it might ‘‘further reduce the information 

collection burden for small business 

concerns with fewer than 25

Number of Respondents and

an adjustment to the number of 

respondents, responses, and the total 

burden hours within this submission 

based on FY 2023 data received from 

USAC. Collection of the information on 

FCC Forms 470 and 471 is necessary so 

that the Commission and USAC have 

sufficient information to determine if 

entities are eligible for funding pursuant 

to the schools and libraries support 

mechanism, to determine if entities are 

complying with the Commission’s rules, 

and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. 

In addition, the information is necessary 

for the Commission to evaluate the 

extent to which the E-rate program is 

meeting the statutory objectives 

specified in section 254(h) of the 1996 

Act, and the Commission’s performance 

goals established in the E-rate 

Modernization Order and Second E-rate 

Modernization Order.
