www.fcc.gov, which issues a Federal
Registration Number (FRN) to each
applicant/licensee, etc., for use in filing
any of these FCC Forms 159/159–C,
159–B, 159–E, and/or 159–W. As part of
the registration process, the applicant/
licensee’s SSN or TIN is stored in a
secure environment, which minimizes
any potential privacy risks. The
Commission is merging 3060–0949,
Interstate Telephone Service Provider
Worksheet, FCC Form 159–W, into this
information collection. Once approved
by OMB, the Commission will cancel
3060–0949.
The FCC bills telecommunications
licensees and permittees using the FCC
Form 159–W as the invoice. The FCC
developed FCC Form 159–W to provide
a convenient format for these
telecommunications licensees and
permittees to verify the information that
is extracted from the interstate revenue
information (which are already
‘‘populated’’ on this form), to verify the
simple calculation of the fee amount
that is due, and to correct any
inaccuracies as necessary. The FCC uses
this form to bill the telecommunications
licensee or permittee the amount of its
regulatory fee. The FCC is making minor
revisions to FCC Form 159–W to
provide a clearer format. Respondents
may access FCC Form 159–W on line
through the FCC’s Web page: https://
www.fcc.gov/frnreg if they wish to
submit payment prior to being billed.
