6. Federal Rules That May Duplicate,
Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed
Rules
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
estimates that the majority of ISP firms
are small entities.
128. The ISP industry has changed
dramatically since 2002. The 2002 data
cited above may therefore include
entities that no longer provide Internet
access service and may exclude entities
that now provide such service. To
ensure that this IRFA describes the
universe of small entities that our action
might affect, the Commission discusses
in turn several different types of entities
that might be providing Internet access
service.
129. The Commission notes that,
although the Commission has no
specific information on the number of
small entities that provide Internet
access service over unlicensed
spectrum, it includes these entities in
the IRFA.
Proposed Rulemaking also proposes a
five-year record retention period,
consistent with the record retention
period for other universal service highcost support.
132. Because the overall design and
scope of the Mobility Fund have not
been finalized, the Commission does not
have a more specific estimate of
potential reporting, recordkeeping, and
compliance burdens on small
businesses. The Commission anticipates
that commenters will address the
reporting, recordkeeping, and other
compliance proposals made in the
Mobility Fund Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, and will provide reliable
information on any costs and burdens
on small businesses for inclusion in the
record of this proceeding.
4. Description of Projected Reporting,
Recordkeeping, and Other Compliance
Requirements for Small Entities
130. The Mobility Fund Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking seeks public
comment on creation of a new Mobility
Fund within the high-cost mechanism
of the federal universal service program.
The Mobility fund would make
available non-recurring support to
providers to deploy 3G or better
networks where these services are not
currently available. The proposed
Mobility Fund would use market
mechanisms—specifically, a reverseauction—to compare all offers to
provide service across the unserved
areas eligible for participation in the
Mobility Fund program.
13. In proposing the Mobility Fund,
the Commission seeks comment on
various reporting, record-keeping, and
other compliance requirements for the
parties that will be applying for and
receiving support from the Mobility
Fund. The Mobility Fund Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking proposes, for
example, that parties interested in
participating in a Mobility Fund auction
must disclose certain information, such
as their ownership, before participating
in the auction. The Mobility Fund
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
proposes that auction winners be
required to provide more detailed
information, including project
descriptions and timetables. The parties
receiving support would be subject to
certain reporting requirements
demonstrating a certain level of network
quality of service and reasonably
comparable rates, and would need to
provide, in annual reports, data from
drive tests showing mobile
transmissions to and from the network
meeting or exceeding certain minimum
standards. The Mobility Fund Notice of
5. Steps Taken To Minimize Significant
Economic Impact on Small Entities, and
Significant Alternatives Considered
47 CFR Part 73
133. The RFA requires an agency to
describe any significant alternatives that
it has considered in reaching its
proposed approach, which may include
the following four alternatives (among
others): (1) The establishment of
differing compliance or reporting
requirements or timetables that take into
account the resources available to small
entities; (2) the clarification,
consolidation, or simplification of
compliance or reporting requirements
under the rule for small entities; (3) the
use of performance, rather than design,
standards; and (4) an exemption from
coverage of the rule, or any part thereof,
for small entities.
134. The reporting, recordkeeping,
and other compliance requirements in
this Mobility Fund Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking could have an impact on
both small and large entities. However,
even though the impact may be more
financially burdensome for smaller
entities, the Commission believes the
impact of such requirements is
outweighed by the benefit of providing
the additional USF support necessary to
make advanced wireless services
available to areas of the nation that are
currently unserved. Further, these
requirements are necessary to ensure
that the statutory goals of 47 U.S.C. 254
are met without waste, fraud, or abuse.
135. The Commission expects to
consider the economic impact on small
entities, as identified in comments filed
in response to the Mobility Fund Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, in reaching its
final conclusions and taking action in
this proceeding.
