Notice of Change in Subject Matter of Agency Meeting, 12758 [2018-05933]

Download as PDF amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES 12758 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 57 / Friday, March 23, 2018 / Notices Order, 76 FR 73830, November 29, 2011. As such, this data collection is limited to the type of CAIs that carriers would report pursuant to 47 CFR 54.313(f)(1)(ii). Because rate-of-return carriers are already reporting the addresses of many of these CAIs on their FCC Form 481, carriers may face a reduced burden when submitting latitude and longitude of these same CAIs and the links connecting these institutions to other nodes in their networks for mapping purposes. 21. Second, consistent with the Alaska Plan Order, the Bureaus make clear that in the initial collection, carriers must submit data regarding any CAIs served by fiber or wireless connections. This limitation is consistent with the plain language of section 54.316(a)(6), which states that Alaska Plan participants ‘‘shall submit fiber network maps or microwave network maps covering eligible areas’’ for the purpose of tracking carriers’ access to these facilities that would allow them to provide 10/1 Mbps for all Alaskans. In subsequent years, carriers must submit CAIs served by connections that ‘‘are or will be used’’ to support service in their eligible areas. This would include, at a minimum, those instances where the carrier has actual plans to use the CAI and links to extend the network. CAIs served by connections that ‘‘are or will be used’’ in this manner are in fact ‘‘middle mile’’ and/or ‘‘backhaul’’ within the meaning of the Alaska Plan Order and are therefore subject to collection. CAIs connected to high-capacity links may be used to expand service to underserved and unserved communities. Consequently, information regarding CAIs connected by such facilities is necessary for the Commission to understand whether adequate facilities exist to support additional last-mile connections and for the evaluation of carriers’ performance—consistent with the purpose of the map collection. 22. The Bureaus deny ATA’s Petition to the extent it seeks to exclude the reporting of CAIs which meet these criteria. ATA argues that all CAIs are ‘‘last-mile’’ facilities and therefore should not be part of the map collection except in limited circumstances. ATA’s position is not consistent with the Alaska Plan Order. ATA argues that the Bureaus’ reliance on aggregation points to justify reporting some nodes ‘‘proves too much’’ because a ‘‘home’s or business’s Wi-Fi router is an initial aggregation point.’’ But ATA’s argument contravenes its own cited precedent, which separates the network based on points of traffic aggregation with similar network demand. In many instances, VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:54 Mar 22, 2018 Jkt 244001 CAIs’ position in carriers’ network architecture is more akin to wireless towers aggregating community-wide traffic than a last-mile home or smartphone user. Indeed, ATA provides a conceptual network map in its Petition equating schools with wireless towers. This model and the ACAM are consistent with the understanding that both a CAI and a wireless tower can and do aggregate community-wide multiuser traffic. In contrast, a home or small business Wi-Fi router typically serves a single end-user location with only a handful of end-users, and it does not aggregate community-wide multi-user traffic. 23. In light of the foregoing discussion, the Bureaus reject ATA’s counter-proposal to limit the collection of nodes to cell towers and CAIs that are outside of the exchange but connect to a central office in another exchange. In part because of the vast size of many exchanges in Alaska, knowing whether the central office in an exchange is fiberfed does not provide a sufficiently granular picture of the potential middlemile ‘‘weak points’’ or capabilities that could affect the ability of a carrier to meet its commitments or future commitments.
