clearance from OMB. In its November
2011 USF/ICC Transformation Order
(FCC 11–161), the Commission
established the Mobility Fund, which
consists of two phases. Mobility Fund
Phase I (MF–I) provided one-time
universal service support payments to
immediately accelerate deployment of
mobile broadband services. MF–II will
use a reverse auction to provide ongoing
universal service support payments to
continue to advance deployment of such
services. The Commission adopted the
rules and framework for MF–I in the
USF/ICC Transformation Order, and
sought comment in an accompanying
further notice of proposed rulemaking
on the proposed framework for MF–II.
In its February 2017 Mobility Fund II
Report and Order and Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (MF–II Report
and Order and/or FNPRM) (FCC 17–11),
the FCC adopted the rules and
framework for moving forward
expeditiously with the MF–II auction.
Among other things, the Commission
stated in the MF–II Report and Order
that, prior to the auction, it would
establish a map of areas presumptively
eligible for MF–II support based on the
most recently available FCC Form 477
mobile wireless coverage data, and
provide a limited timeframe for parties
to challenge those initial determinations
during the pre-auction process. The
Commission sought comment in the
accompanying Mobility Fund II FNPRM
on how to best design a robust, targeted
MF–II challenge process that efficiently
resolves disputes about the areas
eligible for MF–II support.
In August 2017, the Commission
released an Order on Reconsideration
and Second Report and Order
(Challenge Process Order) (FCC 17–102)
in which it (1) reconsidered its earlier
decision to use FCC Form 477 data to
compile the map of areas presumptively
eligible for MF–II support and decided
it would instead conduct a new, onetime data collection with specified data
parameters tailored to MF–II to
determine the areas in which there is
deployment of qualified LTE that will
be used (together with high-cost
disbursement data available from the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC)) for this purpose, and
(2) adopted a streamlined challenge
process that will efficiently resolve
disputes about areas deemed
presumptively ineligible for MF–II
support. The map of areas
presumptively eligible for MF–II
support will serve as the starting point
for the challenge process pursuant to
which an interested party (challenger)
may initiate a challenge with respect to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:40 Oct 05, 2017
Jkt 244001
one or more areas initially deemed
ineligible for MF–II support (i.e., areas
not listed on the Commission’s map of
areas presumptively eligible for MF–II
support and challenged parties can
respond to challenges.
A challenger seeking to initiate a
challenge of one or more areas initially
deemed ineligible in the Commission’s
map of areas presumptively eligible for
MF–II support may do so via the online
challenge portal developed by USAC for
this purpose (the USAC portal). For
each state, a challenger must (1) identify
the area(s) it seeks to challenge, (2)
submit detailed proof of a lack of
unsubsidized, qualified 4G LTE
coverage in each challenged area in the
form of actual outdoor speed test data
collected using the standardized
parameters specified by the Commission
in the Challenge Process Order and any
other parameters the Commission or the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
and Wireline Competition Bureau (the
Bureaus) may implement, and (3) certify
its challenge.
After the challenge window closes,
the USAC system will use an automated
challenge validation process developed
by USAC to validate a challenger’s
evidence and will determine which
challenged areas pass validation and
which fail. Once all valid challenges
have been identified, a challenged party
that chooses to respond to any valid
challenge(s) will have a response
window within which to submit
additional data via the online USAC
portal. A challenged party may submit
technical information that is probative
regarding the validity of a challenger’s
speed tests (i.e., information
demonstrating that the challenger’s
speed tests are invalid or do not
accurately reflect network performance),
including speed test data and other
device-specific data collected from
transmitter monitoring software or,
alternatively, may submit its own speed
test data that conforms to the same
standards and requirements specified by
the Commission and the Bureaus for
challengers.
In conjunction with the qualified 4G
LTE data separately collected pursuant
to OMB 3060–1242 that will be used to
create the map of areas presumptively
eligible for MF–II support, the
information collected under this new
MF–II challenge process collection will
enable the Commission to efficiently
resolve disputes concerning the
eligibility or ineligibility of an area
initially deemed ineligible for MF–II
support and establish the final map of
areas eligible for such support, thereby
furthering the Commission’s goal of
targeting MF–II support to areas that
