Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 179 / Monday, September 16, 2013 / Notices the population—and any support previously received. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES D. Default Payment Requirements 184. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission determined that it would impose two types of default payment obligations on winning bidders: a default payment owed by Mobility Fund winning bidders that default on their winning bids prior to approval for receiving support, and a default payment owed by Mobility Fund winning bidders that apply for and are approved to receive support but subsequently fail to meet their public interest obligations or other terms and conditions of Mobility Fund support. Under the competitive bidding rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order, bidders selected by the auction process to receive USF support have a binding obligation to file a post-auction long-form application—by the applicable deadline and consistent with other requirements of the long-form application process—and failure to do so constitutes an auction default. In addition, a performance default occurs when a winning bidder that the Commission has authorized to receive support fails to meet its minimum coverage requirement or adequately comply with quality of service or any other requirements upon which support was granted. i. Auction Default Payment 185. Any winning bidder that fails to timely file a long-form application, is found ineligible or unqualified to receive Mobility Fund support, has its long-form application dismissed, or otherwise defaults on its bid or is disqualified for any reason after the close of the auction and prior to the authorization of support for each winning bid will be subject to an auction default payment. Agreeing to such payment in event of a default is a condition for participating in bidding. In the event of an auction default, the Bureaus will assess a default payment of five percent of the total defaulted bid. Liability for the auction default payment will be imposed without regard to the intentions or fault of any specific defaulting bidder. 186. The Bureaus’ experience in Auction 901 has demonstrated that this amount, which is well below the maximum allowable percentage, provides bidders sufficient incentive to fully inform themselves of the obligations associated with participation in the Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I auction and to commit to fulfilling those obligations, and yet is not unduly punitive. The Bureaus anticipate that VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:46 Sep 13, 2013 Jkt 229001 such a requirement here should serve to deter failures to fulfill auction obligations that might undermine the stability and predictability of the auction process and impose costs on the Commission as well as higher support costs for USF. The Bureaus therefore adopt their proposal. 187. The Bureaus did not receive any comments on whether there should be an alternative methodology for calculation of an auction default payment, or whether an applicant should be required to furnish a bond or place funds on deposit prior to bidding. The Bureaus conclude that their adoption of an auction default payment calculated as five percent of the total defaulted bid will provide adequate protection against costs to the Commission and the USF, and therefore they find that establishing a bond or deposit requirement is unnecessary. ii. Performance Default Payment 188. A winning bidder that has received notice from the Commission that it is authorized to receive Mobility Fund support will be subject to a performance default payment if it fails or is unable to meet its minimum coverage requirement, other service requirements, or fails to fulfill any other term or condition of Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support. The Bureaus conclude that in the event of a performance default, they will assess a default payment of ten percent of the total defaulted bid. The LOC that a winning bidder will be required to provide for each winning bid must include an additional ten percent based on the total amount of support for which the winning bidder is eligible. 189. The Commission recognized in the USF/ICC Transformation Order that a Mobility Fund recipient’s failure to fulfill its obligations may impose significant costs on the Commission and higher support costs for the USF and concluded that it was necessary to adopt a default payment obligation for performance defaults. In addition to being liable for a performance default payment, the recipient will be required to repay the Mobility Fund all of the support it has received, and depending on circumstances, could be disqualified from receiving any additional Mobility Fund or other USF support.

SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION VerDate Mar<15>2010 and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). ACTION: Notice of request for public comments regarding an extension to an existing OMB clearance. Jkt 229001 A. Purpose Part 28 of the FAR contains guidance related to obtaining financial protection against damages under Government contracts (e.g., use of bonds, bid guarantees, insurance etc.). Part 52 contains the texts of solicitation provisions and contract clauses. These regulations implement a statutory requirement for information to be provided by Federal contractors relating to payment bonds furnished under PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 construction contracts which are subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds. This collection requirement is mandated by Section 806 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 (Pub. L. 102–190), as amended by Section 2091 of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–335). The clause at 52.228–12, Prospective Subcontractor Requests for Bonds, implements Section 806(a)(3) of Pub. L. 102–190, as amended, which specifies that, upon the request of a prospective subcontractor or supplier offering to furnish labor or material for the performance of a construction contract for which a payment bond has been furnished to the United States pursuant to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds, the contractor shall promptly provide a copy of such payment bond to the requestor. In conjunction with performance bonds, payment bonds are used in Government construction contracts to secure fulfillment of the contractor’s obligations under the contract and to assure that the contractor makes all payments, as required by law, to persons furnishing labor or material in performance of the contract. This regulation provides prospective subcontractors and suppliers a copy of the payment bond furnished by the contractor to the Government for the performance of a Federal construction contract subject to 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds. It is expected that prospective subcontractors and suppliers will use this information to determine whether to contract with that particular prime contractor. This information has been and will continue to be available from the Government. The requirement for contractors to provide a copy of the payment bond upon request to any prospective subcontractor or supplier under the Federal construction contract is contained in Section 806(a)(3) of Public Law 102–190, as amended by Sections 2091 and 8105 of Public Law 103–355. B. Annual Reporting Burden Based on a Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) report for the number of new construction contract awards over $150,000 (simplified acquisition threshold), there were 9,752 contracts awarded for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012. The Government estimated that each contract awarded had an average of 10 subcontractors (9,752 × 10), resulting in a total universe of 97,520 subcontractors. In consultation with subject matter experts, it was determined that 15% or 14,628 subcontractors (unique vendors) would E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM 16SEN1
