Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission

This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to
About the Federal Register
on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

AGENCY:
Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION:
Notice; request for comments.
SUMMARY:
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: whether the proposed collection of information is 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; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
DATES:
Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before August 17, 2026. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
Needs and Uses:
In January 2026, the Federal Communications Commission adopted the
Foreign Adversary Control Report & Order
which established new attestation and disclosure requirements for Commission regulated entities to report whether and the extent to which they are owned, controlled, or subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign adversary. The Order categorized each Commission assigned license, authorization, and other approval into different schedules with different levels of attestation and disclosure requirements based on their importance to national security. Respondents who indicate they are subject to control by a foreign adversary must report additional information on the nature of that control. The Order additionally establishes ongoing reporting triggers and a streamlined enforcement and revocation process for non-compliance when necessary. Finally, the Order directed the Commission to establish a new system and procedures for collecting the information from regulated entities.
( printed page 36142)
The information collected in the Foreign Adversary Risk Report will fill critical information gaps in the existing understanding of the threat that adversaries pose to U.S. networks. As such, the information from the collection will improve the Commission's situational awareness of the threat that foreign adversaries currently pose. The Commission will use this information in support of various rulemakings and proceedings as they relate to national security and in developing appropriate actions to mitigate and eliminate threats from adversarial control or influence. Additionally, certain information from the attestation and the additional disclosures will be made available to the public for inspection, subject to privacy and confidentiality considerations, to improve transparency into U.S. communications network and enable outside parties to raise concerns where appropriate.
