Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Services; 2016 Biennial Review of Telecommunications Regulations

Zusammenfassung

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) eliminates the annual international Traffic and Revenue Reports. The submission of the Traffic and Revenue Reports is no longer necessary as the costs of the data collection now exceed its benefits. Instead, the Commission will rely on commercially available data, along with targeted data collections when necessary, to meet its statutory objectives. The Report and Order also reduces the burdens of the Circuit Capacity Reports, for instance by eliminating reporting of terrestrial and satellite circuits.
