purpose of the information collection requirements are to:

regulatees to adjust the regulatee's fee obligations accordingly.
    (b) The Commission will use the information that is submitted in 
support of requests for a waiver or deferral of the payment of an 
application fee and the waiver, deferral, or reduction of an annual 
regulatory fee to determine if the applicant has met the statutory and 
regulatory legal standards to warrant relief.
    (c) The Commission will use the information that is submitted in 
support of requests for an exemption of the payment of an application 
fee to facilitate the statutory provision that non-profit entities be 
exempt from payment of regulatory fees; and facilitate the FCC's 
ability to audit regulatory fee payment compliance.

Federal Communications Commission.
