On November 1, 2005 the Office of Management and Budget issued a Notice of Action approving the revised Federal Communications Commission Form 475, General Consumer Complaint Form and new Federal Communications Commission Form 475B, Obscene, Profane, and/or Indecent Material Complaint Form.

The new FCC Form 475B will enable the Commission to collect detailed data from consumers on the practices of those persons/entities that may post obscene, profane, and/or indecent material by giving consumers an opportunity, for the first time, to use a specific form to file their complaints. Form 475B will be used only for complaints associated with obscene, profane, and/or indecent material.

Both Form 475 and Form 475B will significantly improve the informal complaint process for consumers, industry, and Commission staff by minimizing confusion on what information the Commission requires. Use of these forms also will improve the complaint process and the overall quality of the complaints received.
