Download as PDF 34524 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 109 / Friday, June 5, 2020 / Rules and Regulations restriction by expanding the modes by which the home visits can be completed. Instead of requiring such visits to be completed through in-person visits to the eligible veteran’s home, for the duration of the COVID–19 National Emergency, PCAFC home visits can be completed through other means, including videoconference or other available telehealth modalities. By relieving a restriction and because any delay in implementation of § 71.60 would be contrary to the public interest under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) and (3), respectively, this interim final rule is exempt from the APA’s delayed effective date requirement. Paperwork Reduction Act This interim final rule contains no provisions constituting a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3521). lotter on DSK9F5VC42PROD with RULES Regulatory Flexibility Act The Secretary hereby certifies that this interim final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612). This interim final rule provides flexibility in the modes by which VA conducts PCAFC home visits for the duration of the National Emergency related to COVID–19 and does not affect small businesses. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 do not apply. Executive Orders 12866, 13563 and 13771 Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. VA’s impact analysis can be found as a supporting document at https:// www.regulations.gov, usually within 48 hours after the rulemaking document is VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:46 Jun 04, 2020 Jkt 250001 published. Additionally, a copy of the rulemaking and its impact analysis are available on VA’s website at https:// www.va.gov/orpm/, by following the link for ‘‘VA Regulations Published From FY 2004 Through Fiscal Year to Date.’’ This interim final rule is considered an E.O. 13771 deregulatory action. Details on the estimated cost savings of this interim final rule can be found in the rule’s economic analysis. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that agencies prepare an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits before issuing any rule that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year. This interim final rule will have no such effect on State, local, and tribal governments, or on the private sector. Congressional Review Act Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs designated this rule as not a major rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) summarizes the Commission’s Order in GN Docket No. 20–32, adopted on April 23, 2020 and released on April 24, 2020 and its directive regarding methodologies for use of an adjustment factor and for disaggregation of legacy high-cost support for mobile carriers and to implement those methodologies to the extent such action is supported by the resulting record and the outcome of the 5G Fund proceeding.

A. Directive Regarding an Adjustment Factor 1. In the 5G Fund notice of proposed rulemaking (5G Fund NPRM), 85 FR 31616, May 26, 2020, adopted concurrently with the Order, the Commission proposes to use an adjustment factor to promote better distribution of limited high-cost universal service funds in a 5G Fund auction, and to incorporate an adjustment factor into its proposed framework to disaggregate legacy highcost support for competitive ETCs and transition to support under the 5G Fund. Consistent with their existing authority concerning the distribution of universal service support, the Order directs the Office of Economics and Analytics and the Wireline Competition Bureau to propose and seek comment on (1) adjustment factor values and the underlying methodologies that could be used to develop them; and (2) a process by which the adjustment factor could be applied to the disaggregation of legacy support consistent with the use of such a factor as proposed in the 5G Fund NPRM. 2. The Order further directs the Office of Economics and Analytics and Wireline Competition Bureau to establish adjustment factor values and a PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 34525 process by which to apply an adjustment factor to the disaggregation of support that are supported by the record established in response to their proposals, provided such action is consistent with the actions that the Commission takes in the 5G Fund proceeding (GN Docket No. 20–32). Following any such action to establish an adjustment factor value and process by which to apply it to the disaggregation of legacy support, the Order also directs the Office of Economics and Analytics and Wireline Competition Bureau to resolve any disputes regarding attribution of legacy support and, once the disaggregation process is completed, to release a public notice detailing the disaggregated support. B. Closing WT Docket No. 10–208 3. WT Docket No. 10–208 was opened in 2010 with the release of the Universal Service Reform; Mobility Fund Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 75 FR 67060, Nov. 1, 2010, 75 FR 69374, Nov. 12, 2010, which sought comment on the creation of Mobility Fund Phase I to distribute one-time high-cost universal service support by reverse auction to mobile service providers to build current- and next-generation wireless networks. WT Docket No. 10–208 continued to be used for Mobility Fund Phase I matters and for proceedings addressing issues regarding the provision of ongoing support for 4G LTE through Mobility Fund Phase II. The Commission stated in the Mobility Fund Phase II Report and Order, 82 FR 15422, Mar. 28, 2017, that a goal of Mobility Fund Phase II was to ‘‘target universal service funding to support the deployment of the highest level of mobile service available today.’’ In light of the arrival of 5G technology, the Commission adopted the 5G Fund NPRM, which proposes to provide funds to help close the digital divide and ensure all Americans have access to 5G networks and supersedes the Mobility Fund proceedings. 4. Because no further action is required or contemplated regarding WT Docket No. 10–208, the Commission closes it. Pending matters and statutory obligations regarding Mobility Fund Phase I and Mobility Fund Phase II are transferred to two dockets: GN Docket No. 19–367, and new GN Docket No. 20–104. Pending proceedings regarding Mobility Fund Phase II, including waivers and challenges, are hereby transferred to GN Docket No. 19–367, which is dedicated to the Mobility Fund Phase II Challenge Process. Section 54.1009(c) of the Commission’s rules is revised to require Mobility Fund Phase E:\FR\FM\05JNR1.SGM 05JNR1
