FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information collection 
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 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 OMB 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: Nicole Ongele, Office of the Managing 
Director, at (202) 418-2991, or via email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1241.
    OMB Approval Date: September 27, 2017.
    OMB Expiration Date: September 30, 2020.
    Title: Connect America Phase II Auction Waiver Post-Selection 
Review.
    Form Numbers: FCC Form 5625.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Individuals or 
household; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 150 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2-4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements, one-time 
reporting requirements and recordkeeping requirements.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151-154, 214 and 254.
    Total Annual Burden: 500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There are no assurances of 
confidentiality. However, the Commission intends to keep the 
information private to the extent permitted by law. Also, respondents 
may request materials or information submitted to the Commission 
believed confidential to be withheld from public inspection under 47 
CFR 0.459 of the FCC's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission received OMB approval for this new 
information collection. On January 26, 2017, the Commission released 
Connect America Fund; ETC Annual Reports and Certifications, WC Docket 
Nos. 10-90 and 14-58, Order, FCC 17-2 (New York Auction Order), which 
granted New York a waiver of the Phase II auction program rules, 
subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the Commission made an 
amount up to the amount of Connect America Phase II model-based support 
that Verizon declined in New York--$170.4 million--available to 
applicants selected in New York's New NY Broadband Program in 
accordance with the framework adopted in the New York Auction Order.
    This information collection addresses the eligibility requirements 
that New York winning bidders must meet before the Wireline Competition 
Bureau (Bureau) will authorize them to receive Connect America Phase II 
support. For each New York winning bid that includes Connect America-
eligible areas, the Commission will authorize Connect America support 
up to the total reserve prices of all of the Connect America Phase II 
auction eligible census blocks that are included in the bid, provided 
that New York has committed, at a minimum, the same dollar amount of 
New York support to the Connect America-eligible areas in that bid. 
Before Connect America Phase II support is authorized, the Bureau will 
closely review the winning bidders to ensure that they have met the 
eligibility requirements adopted by the Commission and that they are 
technically and financially qualified to meet the terms and conditions 
of Connect America support. To aid in collecting this information 
regarding New York State's winning bidders and the applicants' ability 
to meet the terms and conditions of Connect America Phase II support in 
a uniform fashion, the Commission has created the proposed new FCC Form 
5625, which parties should use in their submissions with the FCC.
