dates of launch, reaching final orbit, and
start of operations; A description of how
services were migrated to the upper
portion of the band, including the preand post-transition frequencies that
each customer occupied and now
occupies; Any necessary technology
upgrades or other solutions, such as
video compression or modulation, that
the eligible space station operator
implemented, described on a per
antenna and/or feed basis, as
appropriate; The number and location of
antennas and feeds that were
transitioned to satisfy the Phase I
deadline, including the actions taken
(e.g., retuning and repointing) for each;
The date of completion of the above
items; A description of the steps that the
eligible space station operator has taken
to identify all associated earth stations,
antennas, and feeds, and to ensure that
they are all are transitioned as of the
date of Certification; Details relating to
any variances from the eligible space
station operator’s Transition Plan, such
as antennas and feeds involving
circumstances beyond the control of the
eligible space station operator and
therefore subject to a transition delay
notice, and antennas and feeds that are
otherwise pending removal from the
most recent Incumbent Earth Station list
or subject to an agreement regarding the
transition between the eligible space
station operator and the earth station
operator.
The eligible space station operator
must certify that it attests to the
truthfulness of the above information
and is making the Certification in good
faith. Eligible space stations operators
are reminded that Certifications are
subject to section 1.17 of the
Commission’s rules and violators will
be subject to potential enforcement
action, including monetary penalties or
actions affecting the eligible space
station operator’s market access
authorization or status as a licensee. The
Bureau will determine that a
Certification has been made in bad faith
if, for example, the certifying party
makes a statement that is false and if it
finds the party did not use due diligence
in providing information that is correct
and not misleading to the Commission,
including taking appropriate affirmative
steps to determine the truthfulness of
what is being submitted. In cases where
it is found that the ARP was disbursed
based on a Certification that the eligible
space station operator had filed in bad
faith, the operator may be subject to the
additional consequence of having to
return some or all of the ARP,
depending on the circumstances.
We note that subsequent to the filing
of the Certification the Bureau may,

based on the information filed by the
eligible space station operator or
contained in a challenge to that
operator’s Certification, request
additional information from the
operator. Because such information may
prove necessary to determine whether
the eligible space station operator
completed the relocation by the relevant
accelerated deadline, eligible space
station operators must respond to such
requests for information in a prompt
and complete manner.
If, after the resolution of any credible
challenges and the disbursement of the
ARP, it is subsequently found, by the
Relocation Coordinator, Clearinghouse,
or WTB, that the eligible space station
operator should have transitioned
additional earth stations, antennas, or
feeds that it did not account for in its
Transition Plan and Certification(s), the
eligible space station operator will be
required to remediate such earth
stations, antennas, or feeds in a prompt
and effective manner.
Challenges. Challenges to a
Certification must be filed in GN Docket
No. 21–320 within ten (10) days after
the Certification is published in ECFS
and the eligible space station operators’
replies must be filed in that docket
within five (5) days. Pursuant to the 3.7
GHz Report and Order, WTB will
announce by Public Notice whether
credible challenges have been made
within 30 days of the Certification’s
filing. After reviewing a Certification
and any relevant challenges, WTB will
issue one of two Public Notices. If there
are no credible challenges, WTB will
issue a Public Notice that lists the
submitted challenges (if any), states that
none constitutes a ‘‘credible challenge’’
to the validity of the Certification, and
provides a brief explanation for the
finding that said challenges are noncredible. If there is at least one credible
challenge, WTB will issue a Public
Notice announcing that one or more
credible challenges have been made and
instructing the Clearinghouse not to
issue the ARP until WTB has made a
final determination as to the validity of
the challenge. WTB will issue a final
determination on the challenge no later
than sixty (60) days after the eligible
space station operator files its
Certification. If WTB ultimately finds
the Certification was valid,
disbursement of the Phase I ARP to the
eligible space station operator will

Notice of a new matching
program.
ACTION:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document
announces the modification 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
Iowa Department of Human Services
(Department). The purpose of this
matching program is to verify the
eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of Lifeline (existing
purpose) and the new Emergency
Broadband Benefit Program, both of
which are administered by USAC under
the direction of the FCC. More
information about these programs is
provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or
before September 13, 2021. This
computer matching program will
commence on September 13, 2021, and
will conclude 18 months after the
effective date.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Margaret
Drake, FCC, 45 L Street NE, Washington,
DC 20554, or to Privacy@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Margaret Drake at 202–418–1707 or
Privacy@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Lifeline program provides support for
discounted broadband and voice
services to low-income consumers.
Lifeline is administered by the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under FCC direction.
Consumers qualify for Lifeline through
proof of income or participation in a
qualifying program, such as Medicaid
and the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal
Public Housing Assistance,
Supplemental Security Income (SSI),
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit,
or various Tribal-specific federal
assistance programs.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit
Program (EBBP) was established by
Congress in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2021, Pub. L.
116–260, 134 Stat. 1182. EBBP is a
program that helps low-income
Americans obtain discounted broadband
service and one-time 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) (2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order), 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 Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits
administered by the Iowa Department.
Under FCC rules, consumers receiving
these benefits qualify for Lifeline
discounts and also for EBBP benefits.
Participating Agencies
Iowa Department of Human Services.
Authority for Conducting the Matching
Program
The authority for the FCC’s EBBP is
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.
1182; 47 CFR part 54. The authority for
the FCC’s Lifeline program is 47 U.S.C.
254; 47 CFR 54.400 through 54.423;
Lifeline and Link Up Reform and
Modernization, et al., Third Report and
Order, Further Report and Order, and
Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC Rcd
3962, 4006–21, paras. 126–66 (2016)
(2016 Lifeline Modernization Order).
Purpose(s)
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order, 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,

requirement on certain small cable systems that become ineligible for
exemption from the requirement to carry high definition broadcast
signals in HD (adopted in FCC 15-65). In particular, the information
collection requires that, beginning December 12, 2016, at the time a
small cable system utilizing the HD carriage exemption offers any
programming in HD, the system must give notice that it is offering HD
programming to all broadcast stations in its market that are carried on
its system. Cable operators also must keep records of such
notification. This information collection requirement allows affected
broadcast stations to monitor compliance with the requirement that
cable operators transmit high definition broadcast signals in HD.
