I. Introduction and Summary
1. The Bureaus establish the
procedures that will apply to the reverse
auction that will award up to $50
million in one-time Tribal Mobility
Fund Phase I support. This auction,
which is designated as Auction 902, is
rescheduled to be held on December 19,
2013. The Auction 902 Procedures
Public Notice establishes the
procedures, terms, and conditions
governing Auction 902, including the
pre- and post-auction application
processes, and provides other important
information for parties that wish to seek
Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support.
2. Auction 902 will award one-time
support to carriers that commit to
provide 3G or better mobile voice and
broadband services to Tribal lands that
lack such services. Support will be
allocated to maximize the population
covered by new mobile services without
exceeding the budget of $50 million.
Winning bidders will be obligated to
choose whether to deploy 3G service
within two years or 4G service within
three years after the award of support.
3. Auction 902 will award high-cost
universal service support through
reverse competitive bidding. The USF/
ICC Transformation Order, 76 FR 73830,
November 29, 2011 and 76 FR 81562,
December 28, 2011, established the
Mobility Fund as a universal service
support mechanism dedicated expressly
to mobile services and adopted rules for
distribution of the $50 million budget
for Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I. The
Commission concluded in the USF/ICC
Transformation Order that a populationbased metric is appropriate for the
Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I auction. In
the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the
Commission delegated authority to the
Bureaus to implement Tribal Mobility
