Title: Application to Participate in
Connect America Fund Phase II
Auction, FCC Form 183.
Form Number: FCC Form 183.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions,
and state, local or tribal governments.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 500 respondents and 500
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 7
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 214,
254, and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 3,500 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality
Although most information collected in
FCC Form 183 will be made available
for public inspection, the Commission
will withhold certain information
collected in FCC Form 183 from routine
public inspection. Specifically, the
Commission will treat certain technical
information submitted in FCC Form 183
as confidential and as though the
applicant has requested that this
information be treated as confidential
trade secrets and/or commercial
information. In addition, an applicant
may use the abbreviated process under
47 CFR 0.459(a)(4) to request
confidential treatment of certain
financial information contained in its
FCC Form 183 application. However, if
a request for public inspection for this
technical or financial information is
made under 47 CFR 0.461, and the
applicant has any objections to
disclosure, the applicant will be notified
and will be required to justify continued
confidential treatment of its request. To
the extent that a respondent seeks to
have other information collected in FCC
Form 183 withheld from public
inspection, the respondent may request
confidential treatment pursuant to 47
CFR 0.459.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will use the information collected to
determine whether applicants are
eligible to participate in the Connect
America Fund Phase II auction (CAF–II
auction). On November 18, 2011, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:36 Jan 30, 2018

Commission released the USF/ICC
Transformation Order and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, WC
Docket No. 10–90 et al., FCC 11–161,
which comprehensively reformed and
modernized the high-cost program
within the universal service fund to
focus support on networks capable of
providing voice and broadband services.
The Commission created the Connect
America Fund (CAF) and concluded
that support in price cap areas would be
provided through a combination of ‘‘a
new forward-looking model of the cost
of constructing modern multi-purpose
networks’’ and a competitive bidding
process (the CAF–II auction). The
Commission also sought comment on
proposed rules governing the CAF–II
auction, including options regarding
basic auction design and the application
process.
In the CAF–II auction, service
providers will compete to receive
support of up to $1.98 billion to offer
voice and broadband service in
unserved high-cost areas. To implement
reform and conduct the CAF–II auction,
the Commission adopted new rules for
the CAF–II auction which include new
information collections. In the April
2014 Connect America Order, WC
Docket No. 10–90 et al., FCC 14–54, the
Commission adopted certain rules
regarding participation in the CAF–II
auction, the term of support, and the
ETC designation process. In the Phase II
Auction Order, WC Docket No. 10–90 et
al., FCC 16–64, the Commission adopted
rules to implement the CAF–II auction,
including the adoption of a two-stage
application process. Based on the
Commission’s experience with auctions
and consistent with the record, this twostage collection of information balances
the need to collect information essential
to conduct a successful auction with
administrative efficiency.
Under this information collection, the
Commission will collect information
that will be used to determine whether
an applicant is legally qualified to
participate in an auction for Connect
America Fund Phase II support (CAF–II
support). To aid in collecting this
information, the Commission has
created FCC Form 183, which the public
will use to provide the necessary
information and certifications.
Commission staff will review the
information collected on FCC Form 183
as part of the pre-auction process, prior
to the start of the auction, and
determine whether each applicant
satisfies the Commission’s requirements
to participate in an auction for CAF–II
support. Without the information
collected on FCC Form 183, the
Commission will not be able to
PO 00000

determine if an applicant is legally
qualified to participate in the auction
and has complied with the various
applicable regulatory and statutory
auction requirements for such
participation. This approach provides
an appropriate screen to ensure serious
participation without being unduly
burdensome.
