Because this action has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), nor is it considered a regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled ‘‘Reducing Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs’’ (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017). This action does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ‘‘Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerances in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), do not apply. This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:17 Mar 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) adopts an Order that closes Lockbox 979094 and modifies the relevant rule provisions of filing and making fee payments in lieu of closing the lockbox.

SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM 11MRR1 8618 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 47 / Monday, March 11, 2019 / Rules and Regulations II. Introduction 4. In the Order, we reduce expenditures by the Commission and modernize procedures by amending § 1.1106 of our rules, 47 CFR 1.1106, which sets forth the application fee for certain complaints delegated to the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau (EB) and currently handled by its Market Disputes Resolution Division. The rule amendment reflects the closure of the mailing drop box (P.O. Box) 1 used for such manual payment of filing fees for two types of EB complaints, section 208 formal complaints and section 224 pole attachment complaints. We discontinue the option of manual fee payments and instead require the use of an electronic payment for each complaint type. Consistent with this change, we also make conforming revisions to § 1.734 of the Commission’s rules to account for the electronic fee payment requirements of formal complaint proceedings, as described more fully below. 5. Section 1.1106 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.1106, provides a schedule of application fees for complaint proceedings handled by the EB. The rule had also directed filers that do not utilize the Commission’s on-line filing and fee payment systems to send manual payments to P.O. Box 979094 at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri. In recent years, there have been a decreasing number of lockbox filers, and it now is rare that the Commission receives a lockbox payment. 6. The Commission has begun to reduce its reliance on P.O. Boxes for the collection of fees, instead encouraging the use of electronic payment systems for all application and regulatory fees and closing certain lockboxes. We find that electronic payment of fees for complaints processed by EB will reduce the agency’s expenditures (including eliminating the annual fee for the bank’s services) and the cost of manually processing each transaction, with little or no inconvenience to the Commission’s regulatees, applicants, and the public. 7. As part of this effort, we are now closing P.O. Box 979094 and modifying the relevant rule provisions that require payment of fees via the closed P.O. Box. Our action here to close this lockbox and require electronic payments for any EB-related complaints has implications for existing Commission regulations other than section 1.1106. Thus, we also revise § 1.734 of the Commission’s rules to account for the electronic fee payment requirements adopted in this Order. We note that in 2014, the Commission adopted rules requiring that, with the exception of confidential material, complaints should be submitted electronically via the agency’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) after filers have paid the appropriate fee, and therefore this change does not impact the filing of the complaints themselves. The rule changes are contained in the Appendix 1 A P.O. Box used for the collection of fees is referred to as a ‘‘lockbox’’ in our rules and other Commission documents. The FCC collects application processing fees using a series of P.O. Boxes located at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri. See 47 CFR 1.1101–1.1109 (setting forth the fee schedule for each type of application remittable to the Commission along with the correct lockbox).

Implementation. As a temporary transition measure, for 90 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register, U.S. Bank will continue to process payments to P.O. Box 979094. After that date, payments for any EB-related complaint proceeding must be made in accordance with the procedures set forth on the Commission’s website, https:// www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees (Enforcement Bureau Fee Filing Guide).

I. Introduction 1. In this Report and Order, the Commission takes a small but important step towards closing the digital divide and making broadband available for all Americans, by phasing down legacy support for voice services to make greater funding available for voice and broadband services. Specifically, the Commission adopts a transition framework to phase down Connect America Fund (CAF) Phase I frozen support in areas where support is now awarded pursuant to the CAF Phase II auction. Winning bidders were awarded $1.488 billion in support over 10 years to deploy broadband in 45 states to 713,176 locations. Approximately 73% of the locations available in the CAF Phase II auction were covered by winning bids, significantly narrowing the areas where price cap carriers will maintain voice-only obligations under the legacy regime. The transition plan the Commission adopts in this document provides certainty and stability in those areas by establishing a reasonable support glide path as the Commission transitions from one support mechanism to another. II. Discussion 2. As the Commission has noted, ‘‘the CAF is not created on a blank slate, but rather against the backdrop of a decades-old regulatory system.’’ Thus, a smooth transition must account for the several support mechanisms currently in effect as well as the auction outcomes in different areas. To comprehensively resolve these phase-down issues prior to authorizing CAF Phase II auction support, the Commission addresses the transition of both price cap carriers’ and competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) offering service to fixed locations (fixed competitive ETCs’) legacy support together. 3. Pursuant to the April 2014 Connect America Further Notice, 79 FR 39196, July 9, 2014, the Commission adopts a methodology for disaggregating support by employing the Connect America Cost Model (CAM) to account for the relative costs of providing service among areas in states where price cap carriers PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 8619 declined model-based CAF Phase II support. These price cap carriers currently receive an amount of frozen support for each carrier’s designated service area within a particular state. Within that state, the Commission uses the CAM to allocate a portion of each carrier’s existing frozen support to each auction-eligible census block based on the relative costs of providing service across all auction-eligible census blocks within the same state. Consistent with the cap for reserve prices exceeding the extremely high-cost threshold in the CAF Phase II auction, the Commission limits the allocated monthly support for any census block to $146.10 per location. 4. The Commission concludes that the interim methodology it adopts is a reasonable approach for allocating support among a price cap carrier’s census blocks because it targets support based on the relative costs of providing service based on the CAM. Phase I frozen support was based largely on inherently inefficient legacy support mechanisms that did not reflect the costs of serving high-cost and extremely high-cost areas; the Commission’s interim methodology now ties disaggregated support amounts to the costs of serving each affected census block for the transitional period. The Commission also concludes that the methodology it adopts is preferable to the proposal in the April 2014 Connect America Further Notice because it better calibrates the available support with the cost to serve the defined areas. The Commission’s 2014 proposal would have distributed the legacy support that carriers received in each state based on the average cost to serve all high-cost and extremely high-cost areas in that state. As a result, it would have allocated the same amount of support regardless of the relative mix of highcost and extremely high-cost areas that carriers are required to serve after the auction until a replacement ETC is in place. 5. The Commission adopts the schedule in the following for the transition of price cap carriers’ and fixed competitive ETCs’ legacy support. This transition schedule will fund new service obligations undertaken by Phase II auction winners, protect customers of current support recipients from a potential loss of service, and minimize the disruption to recipients of frozen legacy support from a loss of funding. It balances the need for responsible stewardship of finite universal service funds against the need to distribute funding for voice and broadband services consistent with the results of the Commission’s CAF Phase II auction E:\FR\FM\11MRR1.SGM 11MRR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a summary of the Commission's Order, 
FCC 19-13, MD Docket No. 19-49, adopted on February 20, 2019 and 
released on February 25, 2019. The full text of this document is 
available for public inspection and copying during normal business 
hours in the FCC Reference Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street SW,

I. Administrative Matters

A. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis

    1. Section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended, 
requires a regulatory flexibility analysis in notice and comment 
rulemaking proceedings. See 5 U.S.C. 603(a). As we are adopting these 
rules without notice and comment, no regulatory flexibility analysis is 
required.

B. Final Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Analysis

    2. This document does not contain new or modified information 
collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA), Public Law 104-13. In addition, therefore, it does not contain 
any new or modified information collection burden for small business 
concerns with fewer than 25 employees, pursuant to the Small Business 
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(4).

C. Congressional Review Act

    3. The Commission will not send a copy of the Order pursuant to the 
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), because the 
adopted rules are rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice 
that do not ``substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-
agency parties. See 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C).

II. Introduction

    4. In the Order, we reduce expenditures by the Commission and 
modernize procedures by amending Sec.  1.1106 of our rules, 47 CFR 
1.1106, which sets forth the application fee for certain complaints 
delegated to the FCC's Enforcement Bureau (EB) and currently handled by 
its Market Disputes Resolution Division. The rule amendment reflects 
the closure of the mailing drop box (P.O. Box) \1\ used for such manual 
payment of filing fees for two types of EB complaints, section 208 
formal complaints and section 224 pole attachment complaints. We 
discontinue the option of manual fee payments and instead require the 
use of an electronic payment for each complaint type. Consistent with 
this change, we also make conforming revisions to Sec.  1.734 of the 
Commission's rules to account for the electronic fee payment 
requirements of formal complaint proceedings, as described more fully 
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A P.O. Box used for the collection of fees is referred to as 
a ``lockbox'' in our rules and other Commission documents. The FCC 
collects application processing fees using a series of P.O. Boxes 
located at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri. See 47 CFR 1.1101-
1.1109 (setting forth the fee schedule for each type of application 
remittable to the Commission along with the correct lockbox).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Section 1.1106 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.1106, 
provides a schedule of application fees for complaint proceedings 
handled by the EB. The rule had also directed filers that do not 
utilize the Commission's on-line filing and fee payment systems to send 
manual payments to P.O. Box 979094 at U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri. 
In recent years, there have been a decreasing number of lockbox filers, 
and it now is rare that the Commission receives a lockbox payment.
    6. The Commission has begun to reduce its reliance on P.O. Boxes 
for the collection of fees, instead encouraging the use of electronic 
payment systems for all application and regulatory fees and closing 
certain lockboxes. We find that electronic payment of fees for 
complaints processed by EB will reduce the agency's expenditures 
(including eliminating the annual fee for the bank's services) and the 
cost of manually processing each transaction, with little or no 
inconvenience to the Commission's regulatees, applicants, and the 
public.
    7. As part of this effort, we are now closing P.O. Box 979094 and 
modifying the relevant rule provisions that require payment of fees via 
the closed P.O. Box. Our action here to close this lockbox and require 
electronic payments for any EB-related complaints has implications for 
existing Commission regulations other than section 1.1106. Thus, we 
also revise Sec.  1.734 of the Commission's rules to account for the 
electronic fee payment requirements adopted in this Order. We note that 
in 2014, the Commission adopted rules requiring that, with the 
exception of confidential material, complaints should be submitted 
electronically via the agency's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) 
after filers have paid the appropriate fee, and therefore this change 
does not impact the filing of the complaints themselves. The rule 
changes are contained in the Appendix of the Order. We make these 
changes without notice and comment because they are rules of agency 
organization, procedure, or practice exempt from the general notice-
and-comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, see 5 
U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
    8. Implementation. As a temporary transition measure, for 90 days 
after publication of this document in the Federal Register, U.S. Bank 
will continue to process payments to P.O. Box 979094. After that date, 
payments for any EB-related complaint proceeding must be made in 
accordance with the procedures set forth on the Commission's website, 
https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees (Enforcement Bureau Fee 
Filing Guide). For now, such payments will be made through the Fee 
Filer Online System (Fee Filer), accessible at https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fees/fee-filer. As we assess and implement U.S. 
Treasury initiatives toward an all-electronic payment system, we may 
transition to other secure payment systems with appropriate public 
notice and guidance.

III. Ordering Clauses

    9. Accordingly, it is ordered, that pursuant to sections 4(i),
