From those subscriber locations, USAC will then select a random sample from which the carrier will be required to perform testing for speed and latency. Carriers that do not provide location information in the HUBB will use a randomization tool provided by USAC to select a random sample of locations for testing. The carrier will then be required to submit to USAC the results of the testing on an annual basis. These filings will include the testing results for each quarter from the prior year. The carrier’s sample for each service tier (e.g., 10 Mbps/1 Mbps, 25 Mbps/1 Mbps) shall be regenerated every two years. During the two-year cycle, carriers will have the ability to add and remove subscriber locations if necessary, e.g., as subscribership changes. This information collection addresses the burdens associated with these requirements. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene Dortch, Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
