III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The existing stocks provisions for the
products subject to this order are as
follows.
The Agency received three public
comments on the notice. The Agency
does not believe that the comments
submitted during the comment period
merit further review or a denial of the
requests for voluntary cancellation.
NuFarm Americas, Inc, withdrew their
two requests, 70596–9 & 15440–31 for
cancellation.
A. For Products 1007–99, 1007–100 and

303.
Total Annual Burden: 9,889 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $59,460.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
However, respondents may request
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for an extension
of this information collection in order to
obtain the full three-year approval. The
Commission has adjusted its burden and
cost estimates in order to update the
collection burdens necessary to
implement a uniform registration
process as well as safe and effective
lighting procedures for owners of
antenna structures.
Section 17.4 includes third party
disclosure requirements. Specifically,
Section 17.4 requires the owner of any
proposed or existing antenna structure
that requires notice of proposed
construction to the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to register the
structure with the Commission. This
includes those structures used as part of
the stations licensed by the Commission
for the transmission of radio energy, or
to be used as part of a cable television
head-end system. If a Federal
Government antenna structure is to be
used by a Commission licensee, the
structure must be registered with the
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Commission. Section 17.4(f) provides
that antenna structure owners shall
immediately provide to all tenant
licensees and permittees notification
that the structure has been registered.
This may be done by providing either a
copy of Form 854 or a link to the FCC
antenna structure registration website.
This notification may be done
electronically or via paper mail.
Section 17.4(g) requires antenna
structure owners to display the Antenna
Structure Registration Number in a
conspicuous place that is readily visible
near the base of the antenna. This rule
specifically requires that the Antenna
Structure Number be displayed so that
it is conspicuously visible and legible
from the publicly accessible area nearest
the base of the antenna structure along
the publicly accessible roadway or path.
Where an antenna structure is
surrounded by a perimeter fence, or
where the point of access includes an
access gate, the Antenna Structure
Registration Number should be posted
on the perimeter fence or access gate.
Where multiple antenna structures
having separate Antenna Structure
Registration Numbers are located within
a single fenced area, the Antenna
Structure Registration Numbers must be
posted both on the perimeter fence or
access gate and near the base of each
antenna structure. If the base of the
antenna structure has more than one
point of access, the rule requires that the
Antenna Structure Registration Number
be posted so that it is visible at the
publicly accessible area nearest each
such point of access. The registration
number is issued to identify antenna
structure owners in order to enforce the
Congressionally mandated provisions
related to the owners.
Sections 17.48 and 17.49 contain
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. Section 17.48(a) requires
that antenna structure owners
immediately report outages of top
steady burning lights or flashing
antenna structure lights to the FAA, if
not corrected within 30 minutes. Upon
receipt of the outage notification, the
FAA will issue a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM), which notifies aircraft of the
outage. Consistent with FAA
requirements, if a lighting outage cannot
be repaired within the FAA’s original
NOTAM period, Section 17.48(a) further
requires the antenna structure owner to
notify the FAA of that fact and provide
any needed updates to its estimated
return-to-service date. The rule also
requires antenna structure owners to
continue to provide these updates to the
FAA every NOTAM period until its
lights are repaired.

extinguishments or improper
functioning of structure lights for two
years and provide the records to the
Commission upon request.

ACTION: Notice of a New Matching
Program.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document
announces the establishment of a
computer matching program the Federal
Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’
or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) will conduct with the
Wisconsin Department of Health
Services (DHS), and the Wisconsin
Department of Revenue (DOR), (DHS
and DOR collectively, Agencies). The
purpose of this matching program is to
verify the eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of the Emergency Broadband
Benefit Program, which is administered
by USAC under the direction of the
FCC, or other federal programs that use
qualification for the FCC’s Lifeline
Program as an eligibility criterion. More
information about this program is
provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or
before May 3, 2021. This computer
matching program will commence on
May 3, 2021, and will conclude 18
months after becoming effective.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret
Drake, FCC, 45 L Street NE, Washington,
DC 20554, or to Privacy@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
(EBBP) was established by Congress in
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.
1182. EBBP is a program that will help
low-income Americans obtain

discounted broadband service and onetime co-pay for a connected device
(laptop, desktop computer or tablet).
This program was created specifically to
assist American families’ access to
broadband, which has proven to be
essential for work, school, and
healthcare during the public health
emergency that exists as a result of
COVID–19. A household may qualify for
the EBBP benefit under various criteria,
including an individual qualifying for
the FCC’s Lifeline program.
In a Report and Order adopted on
March 31, 2016 (81 FR 33026, May 24,
2016), the Commission ordered USAC to
create a National Lifeline Eligibility
Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), including
the National Lifeline Eligibility Database
(LED), that would match data about
Lifeline applicants and subscribers with
other data sources to verify the
eligibility of an applicant or subscriber.
The Commission found that the
National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021 directs the FCC to leverage the
National Verifier to verify applicants’
eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this
matching program is to verify the
eligibility of EBBP applicants and
subscribers by determining whether
they receive Medicaid, Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),
or Supplemental Secure Income (SSI)
benefits administered by the Wisconsin
DHS or Wisconsin DOR. Under FCC
rules, consumers receiving these
benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts
and also for EBBP benefits.

Program
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.
1182; 47 CFR part 54.
Purpose(s)
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order (81 FR 33026, May 24, 2016), the
FCC required USAC to develop and
operate the National Verifier to improve
efficiency and reduce waste, fraud, and
abuse in the Lifeline program. The
stated purpose of the National Verifier
is ‘‘to increase the integrity and improve
the performance of the Lifeline program
for the benefit of a variety of Lifeline
participants, including Lifeline
providers, subscribers, states,

community-based organizations, USAC,
and the Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd
3962, 4006, para. 126. To help
determine whether Lifeline applicants
and subscribers are eligible for Lifeline
benefits, the Order contemplates that
the USAC-operated LED will
communicate with information systems
and databases operated by other Federal
and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras.
135–7.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the
National Verifier to verify applicants’
eligibility for EBBP. The purpose of this
matching program is to verify the
eligibility of EBBP applicants and
subscribers by determining whether
they meet an income verification
standard or receive Medicaid, SNAP, or
SSI benefits administered by the
Wisconsin DHS or the Wisconsin DOR.
Under FCC rules, consumers receiving
these benefits qualify for Lifeline
discounts and also for EBBP benefits.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals whose
information is involved in the matching
program include, but are not limited to,
those individuals who have applied for
EBBP benefits; are currently receiving
benefits; are individuals who enable
another individual in their household to
qualify for EBBP benefits; are minors
whose status qualifies a parent or
guardian for EBBP benefits; or are
individuals who have received EBBP
benefits.
Categories of Records
The categories of records involved in
the matching program include, but are
not limited to first name, last name, and
last four digits of the applicant’s Social
Security Number. The National Verifier
will transfer these data elements to the
Wisconsin DHS and the Wisconsin DOR
which will respond either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’
that the individual meets the income
verification standard or is enrolled in an
EBBP-qualifying assistance program:
State of Wisconsin’s SNAP, Medicaid,
or SSI.
System(s) of Records
The USAC records shared as part of
this matching program reside in the
EBBP system of records, FCC/WCB–3,
Emergency Broadband Benefit Program,
which was published in the Federal
Register at 86 FR 11523 (Feb. 25, 2021).

requirements. Section 17.48(a) requires that antenna structure owners
immediately report outages of top steady burning lights or flashing
antenna structure lights to the FAA, if not corrected within 30
minutes. Upon receipt of the outage notification, the FAA will issue a
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), which notifies aircraft of the outage.
Consistent with FAA requirements, if a lighting outage cannot be
repaired within the FAA's original NOTAM period, Section 17.48(a)
further requires the antenna structure owner to notify the FAA of that
fact and provide any needed updates to its estimated return-to-service
date. The rule also requires antenna structure owners to continue to
provide these updates to the FAA every NOTAM period until its lights
are repaired.

Section 17.49 requires antenna structure owners to maintain a
record of observed or otherwise known extinguishments or improper
functioning of structure lights for two years and provide the records
to the Commission upon request.
