FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1242]


Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) has 
received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval, on an 
emergency basis, for a new, one-time information collection pursuant to 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number, and no person is required to respond to a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimates and 
any suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the 
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathy Williams, 
[email protected], (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The total annual reporting burdens and costs 
for the respondents are as follows:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1242.
    OMB Approval Date: September 27, 2017.
    OMB Expiration Date: March 31, 2018.
    Title: Qualified 4G LTE Coverage Data Collection for Mobility Fund 
Phase II.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 64 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for the currently approved information collection 
is contained in sections 154, 254, and 303(r) of the Communications 
Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 4, 254, 303(r).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The information collected 
under this collection is confidential and will not be made publicly 
available.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: In 2011, the Commission established the Mobility 
Fund, which consists of two phases. Mobility Fund Phase I provided one-
time universal service support payments to immediately accelerate 
deployment of mobile broadband services. Mobility Fund Phase II (MF-II) 
will use a reverse auction to provide ongoing universal service support 
payments to continue to advance deployment of such services. In its 
February 2017 Mobility Fund II Report and Order (MF-II Report and 
Order) (FCC 17-11), the Commission adopted the rules and framework for 
moving forward expeditiously with the MF-II auction and stated that, 
prior to the auction, it would establish a map of areas presumptively 
eligible for MF-II support based on the most recently available FCC 
Form 477 mobile wireless coverage data, and provide a limited timeframe 
for parties to challenge those initial determinations during the pre-
auction process. In its August 2017 Order on Reconsideration and Second 
Report and Order (FCC 17-102), the Commission, among other things, 
reconsidered its earlier decision to use FCC Form 477 data to compile 
the map of areas presumptively eligible for MF-II support. The 
Commission decided it would instead conduct a new, one-time data 
collection of 4G LTE coverage data that will be used for this purpose, 
concluding that for purposes of implementing MF-II expeditiously, this 
approach will provide the Commission and interested parties with the 
best available starting point for the challenge process and should 
result in fewer and more narrowly-focused challenges regarding 
representations of coverage. The information collected under this 
collection will be used by the Commission to compile the map of areas 
presumptively eligible for MF-II support.
    The Commission received approval from OMB for the information 
collection requirements contained in OMB 3060-1242 on September 27, 
2017.
