The FCC shall ensure that any transition to electronic filing gives respondents an opportunity to comment on the feasibility of electronic filing for them, and that in the event that electronic filing is not feasible for certain respondents, that alternative filing means will be made available. OMB encourages the use of electronic filing as a general matter but recognizes that not all respondents are technology-ready.
