Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 210 / Monday, November 1, 2010 / Proposed Rules 67077 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.
