Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal governments. Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents and 10 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1.5 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection 47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r). Total Annual Burden: 15 hours. Total Annual Cost: No cost. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Information collected will be made available for public inspection, and the Commission is not requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the Commission on FCC Form 680. However, to the extent that a respondents seeks to have certain information collected on FCC Form 680 withheld from public inspection, the respondent may request confidential treatment of such information pursuant to section 0.459 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR Section 0.459. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Commission will use the information collected on FCC Form 680 to determine whether a winning bidder is qualified to receive Mobility Fund Phase I and Tribal PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Mobility Fund Phase I support. On November 18, 2011, the Commission released an order comprehensively reforming and modernizing the universal service and intercarrier compensation systems to ensure that robust, affordable voice and broadband service, both fixed and mobile, are available to Americans throughout the nation. Connect America Fund et al., Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11–161 (USF/ICC Transformation Order). In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission, among other things, created the Mobility Fund to ensure the availability of mobile broadband networks in areas where a private-sector business case is lacking. Phase I of the Mobility Fund provided one-time universal service support for the deployment of networks for mobile voice and broadband service, and a separate, complementary Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I provided onetime universal service support to accelerate the availability of mobile voice and broadband service on Tribal lands. The Commission adopted rules to implement the reforms it adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order, including the rules in sections 1.21004(a), 54.1004, 54.1005, 54.1006, 54.1007, and 54.1008 which contain information collection requirements used to determine whether a winning bidder of Mobility Fund Phase I support and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support is qualified to receive such support. Section 1.21004(a) of the Commission’s rules requires each winning bidder in an auction for universal service support to apply for the support it won by the applicable deadline. Sections 54.1005(b) and 54.1006 require a winning bidder to submit, using FCC Form 680, ownership information, proof of its status as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, a description of its spectrum access, a detailed project description, any guarantee of performance that the Commission may require, and various certifications. Sections 54.1004(d)(3) and 54.1008(d) require a winning bidder to certify in its application that it has substantively engaged appropriate Tribal officials. In addition, sections 54.1007(a) and (b) require a winning bidder to obtain and submit to the Commission an irrevocable standby letter of credit, which the winning bidder must maintain until at least 120 days after the winning bidder receives its final distribution of support. The information collection requirements ensure that a winning bidder submits an application for the E:\FR\FM\30NON1.SGM 30NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 2020 / Notices universal service support it won, and the Commission uses the information submitted in the application to determine whether the applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to receive such support. The requirement that a winning bidder obtain, submit, and maintain a letter of credit will secure a return of universal service funds from a winning bidder that defaults on its obligations and will protect the integrity of the universal service programs. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to disburse universal service support to a winning bidder or protect the government’s interest in the funds allocated for Mobility Fund Phase I and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I.

Total Annual Burden: 139,461 hours. Total Annual Cost: No Cost. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the Commission in the context of the test bed. Nationwide Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers must make data from the test bed available to small and regional CMRS providers so that the smaller providers can deploy technology throughout their networks that is consistent with a deployment that was successfully tested in the test PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76569 bed. CMRS providers also may request confidential treatment of live 911 call data reports, but the Commission reserves the right to release aggregate or anonymized data on a limited basis to facilitate compliance with its rules. Needs and Uses: This notice pertains to multiple information collections relating to the Commission’s wireless E911 indoor location accuracy regulations. As described below, OMB previously approved the information collections associated with OMB Control No 3060–1210. This notice seeks comment on proposed modifications to those information collections pursuant to the Sixth Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration in this proceeding, PS Docket 07–114. New or modified collections. Section 9.10(i)(4)(iv) requires all CMRS providers to certify ‘‘that neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain dispatchable location information will use dispatchable location information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with prior express consent or as otherwise required by law.’’ In addition, ‘‘[t]he certification must state that CMRS providers and any third party they rely on to obtain dispatchable location information will implement measures sufficient to safeguard the privacy and security of dispatchable location information.’’ Under 47 CFR 9.10(i)(4)(v), all CMRS providers must certify ‘‘that neither they nor any third party they rely on to obtain z-axis information will use z-axis information or associated data for any non-911 purpose, except with prior express consent or as otherwise required by law.’’ Further, ‘‘[t]he certification must state that CMRS providers and any third party they rely on to obtain z-axis information will implement measures sufficient to safeguard the privacy and security of z-axis location information.’’ The Commission obtained OMB approval for the information collections contained in these certifications after adopting the Fourth Report and Order and Fifth Report and Order under OMB Control No. 3060–1210. The Sixth Report and Order modified these information collections slightly by deleting references to the National Emergency Address Database (NEAD), which has been discontinued and will not be available to CMRS providers. The Commission does not expect these changes to the certification requirements to result in any increase or decrease in the burden estimates for these collections as previously approved by OMB.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will use the information collected 
on FCC Form 680 to determine whether a winning bidder is qualified to 
receive Mobility Fund Phase I and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support. 
On November 18, 2011, the Commission released an order comprehensively 
reforming and modernizing the universal service and intercarrier 
compensation systems to ensure that robust, affordable voice and 
broadband service, both fixed and mobile, are available to Americans 
throughout the nation. Connect America Fund et al., Order and Further 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11-161 (USF/ICC Transformation 
Order). In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission, among 
other things, created the Mobility Fund to ensure the availability of 
mobile broadband networks in areas where a private-sector business case 
is lacking. Phase I of the Mobility Fund provided one-time universal 
service support for the deployment of networks for mobile voice and 
broadband service, and a separate, complementary Tribal Mobility Fund 
Phase I provided one-time universal service support to accelerate the 
availability of mobile voice and broadband service on Tribal lands.
    The Commission adopted rules to implement the reforms it adopted in 
the USF/ICC Transformation Order, including the rules in sections 
1.21004(a), 54.1004, 54.1005, 54.1006, 54.1007, and 54.1008 which 
contain information collection requirements used to determine whether a 
winning bidder of Mobility Fund Phase I support and Tribal Mobility 
Fund Phase I support is qualified to receive such support.
    Section 1.21004(a) of the Commission's rules requires each winning 
bidder in an auction for universal service support to apply for the 
support it won by the applicable deadline. Sections 54.1005(b) and 
54.1006 require a winning bidder to submit, using FCC Form 680, 
ownership information, proof of its status as an Eligible 
Telecommunications Carrier, a description of its spectrum access, a 
detailed project description, any guarantee of performance that the 
Commission may require, and various certifications. Sections 
54.1004(d)(3) and 54.1008(d) require a winning bidder to certify in its 
application that it has substantively engaged appropriate Tribal 
officials. In addition, sections 54.1007(a) and (b) require a winning 
bidder to obtain and submit to the Commission an irrevocable standby 
letter of credit, which the winning bidder must maintain until at least 
120 days after the winning bidder receives its final distribution of 
support.
    The information collection requirements ensure that a winning 
bidder submits an application for the

universal service support it won, and the Commission uses the 
information submitted in the application to determine whether the 
applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to receive 
such support. The requirement that a winning bidder obtain, submit, and 
maintain a letter of credit will secure a return of universal service 
funds from a winning bidder that defaults on its obligations and will 
protect the integrity of the universal service programs. Without such 
information, the Commission could not determine whether to disburse 
universal service support to a winning bidder or protect the 
government's interest in the funds allocated for Mobility Fund Phase I 
and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I.
