Non-substantive Change Request

Justification of Non-substantial changes to Collection 3060-0463

The Commission is submitting this non-substantial change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to revise the instructions for the telecommunications relay services (TRS) Provider Data Request Filing Instructions and Form and the TRS State Data Request Filing Instructions and Form issued by the TRS Fund administrator. All dates have been updated from the 2025 version to the 2026 version, external links have been updated, as needed, and document formatting has been adjusted. The following is a list of the other changes, including explanations where the change is not self-explanatory.

In the attached track changes version of the Provider Data Request Filing Instructions:

1. Pages 7, 8, 16, and 18 – NG911 has been added to all references of E911 for clarity;

2. Pages 7, 12, 15, and 17 – removing the word interpreting or replacing interpreting with relaying to align with context specific nomenclature;

3. Page 18 – adding “IP CTS” for consistency, correcting its erroneous exclusion; and

4. Page 11, 17, and 19 – aligning language between the Instructions and the Template.

In the attached proposed Provider Data Request Form in the Excel spreadsheet, parallel changes have been made under the Instructions Tab and the Appendix Tab. The annual burden hours and annual cost were not impacted by these changes.
