Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 98 / Monday, May 22, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
§ 386.14
Reporting requirements.
The borrower will provide annual
audited financial statements, a public
benefits report, and other reports to the
Corps in the form and manner agreed
upon in the credit agreement. These
other reports may include, but are not
limited to, an updated financial model
and construction reports. The Corps
may conduct periodic financial and
compliance reviews or audits of the
borrower and its project, as determined
necessary by the Corps.
§ 386.15
Fees.
(a) Application fee. The Corps will
require a non-refundable application fee
for each project applying for credit
assistance under the WIFIA program.
The application fee will be due upon
submission of the application. For
public applicants with projects serving
small communities or economically
disadvantaged communities, the total
application fee will be $0. For all other
applications, the total application fee
will be $25,000. The total application
fee will be credited to the transaction
processing fee required under paragraph
(b) of this section.
(b) Transaction processing fee. Except
as otherwise provided in paragraph (f)
of this section, the Corps will require an
additional transaction processing fee for
projects selected to receive WIFIA
assistance upon closing, or if the project
does not proceed to closing, e.g., if the
application is withdrawn or denied. The
proceeds of any such fees will be used
to pay the remaining portion of the
Corps’ cost of providing credit
assistance and the costs of conducting
engineering reviews and retaining
expert firms, including financial and
legal services, to assist in the
underwriting of the Federal Credit
instrument.
(c) Servicing fee. The Corps will
require borrowers to pay a servicing fee
for each credit instrument approved for
funding. Separate fees may apply for
each type of credit instrument (e.g., a
secured loan with a single
disbursement, or a secured loan with
multiple disbursements), depending
upon the costs of servicing the credit
instrument as determined by the
Secretary. Such fees will be set at a level
sufficient to enable the Corps to recover
all or a portion of the costs to the
Federal Government of servicing WIFIA
credit instruments.
(d) Optional credit subsidy fee. If, in
any given year, there is insufficient
budget authority to fund the credit
instrument for a qualified project that
has been selected to receive assistance
under WIFIA, the Corps and the
approved applicant may agree upon a
supplemental fee to be paid by or on
behalf of the approved applicant at the
time of execution of the term sheet to
reduce the subsidy cost of that project.
No such fee may be included among
eligible project costs.
(e) Reduced fees. To the extent that
Congress appropriates funds in any
given year beyond those needed to cover
internal administrative costs, the Corps
may utilize such appropriated funds to
reduce fees for a State or local
governmental entity, agency, or
instrumentality, a Tribal government or
consortium of Tribal governments that
would otherwise be charged under
paragraph (c) of this section.
(f) Enhanced monitoring fee. The
Corps may require payment in full by
the borrower of additional fees, in an
amount determined by the Corps, and of
related fees and expenses of its
independent consultants and outside
counsel, to the extent that such fees and
expenses are incurred by or on behalf of
the Corps and to the extent such third
parties are not paid directly by the
borrower, in the event the borrower
experiences difficultly relating to
technical, financial, or legal matters or
other events (e.g., engineering failure or
financial workouts) which require the
Corps to incur time or expenses beyond
standard monitoring. No such fee may
be included among eligible project
costs.

Unlicensed White Space Device

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
AGENCY:
In this document, the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) continues taking steps to
sustain and spur growth within the
white space ecosystem and adopts three
orders addressing pending issues
associated with white space devices.
These actions will provide additional
certainty to white space device users
and manufacturers to enable unlicensed
white space devices to operate
efficiently while protecting other
spectrum users. In the Report and Order
the Commission adopts rules specifying
the database re-check interval for the
new categories of mobile and
narrowband white space devices
established in 2020. In the Order on
Reconsideration, the Commission
dismisses in part and, on alternative and
independent grounds, denies a petition
for reconsideration of two rule changes
for white space devices operating in the
broadcast television (TV) bands. In the
Memorandum Opinion and Order, the
Commission declines to modify the
rules to permit white space databases to
use more complex terrain-based models
to determine the available frequencies
for white space devices and will instead
continue to rely on the simpler
established model that has worked
reliably to prevent interference to TV
and other protected services.
DATES: Effective June 21, 2023.

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analyses.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA) requires that an agency prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis for notice
and comment rulemakings, unless the
agency certifies that ‘‘the rule will not,
if promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.’’ Accordingly,
the Commission has prepared a Final
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (FRFA)
concerning the possible impact of the
rule changes contained in this Order on
Reconsideration, Report and Order and
Memorandum Opinion and Order on
small entities. As required by the RFA,
an Initial Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (IRFA) was incorporated in the
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
(86 FR 38969, July 23, 2021). The
Commission sought written public
comment on the proposals in the NPRM,
including comments on the IRFA. No
comments were filed addressing the
IRFA. Accordingly, the Commission has
prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (FRFA) concerning the
possible impact of the rule changes
contained in the document on small
entities. The present FRFA conforms to
the RFA and can be viewed under
Appendix E of the item at: https://
www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-adoptswhite-spaces-order.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This
document does not contain new or
modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public
Law 104–13. In addition, therefore, it
does not contain any new or modified
information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506
(c)(4).
Congressional Review Act. The
Commission has determined, and the
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
concurs, that this rule is ‘‘non-major’’
under the Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 804(2). The Commission will
send a copy of this Order on
Reconsideration, Report and Order and
Memorandum Opinion and Order to
Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).

Synopsis
Background
Unlicensed white space devices,
which operate in the TV broadcast
bands and portions of the 600 MHz
band at locations where frequencies are
not in use by licensed services or other
protected entities, provide a variety of
wireless services to the public. For
example, Wireless internet Service
Providers (WISPs) use fixed white space
devices to provide internet connectivity
in rural and underserved areas,
including broadband data for schools
and libraries, and on tribal lands. These
devices obtain a list of available
channels and data on power levels that
may be used at their particular locations
from databases administered by private
entities approved by the Commission.
Fixed and mobile white space devices
must incorporate a geo-location
capability and a means to access a
database. Personal/Portable white space
devices can either acquire a list of
available channels via another white
space device (Mode I), or themselves
include geo-location and database
access capabilities (Mode II). Once the
white space device acquires channel
and power information for its location,
it selects an appropriate frequency from
that list for transmitting.
Since 2008 when the Commission
first authorized unlicensed white space
