Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of

Needs and Uses: In a Report and
Order (FCC 99–9, released February 19,
1999) in WT Docket 97–153, the
Commission, under section 90.651,
adopted a revised time frame for
reporting the number of mobile units
placed in operation from eight months
to 12 months of the grant date of their
license. The radio facilities addressed in
this subpart of the rules are allocated on
and governed by regulations designed to
award facilities on a need basis
determined by the number of mobile
units served by each base station. This
is necessary to avoid frequency
hoarding by applicants. This rule
section requires licensees to report the
number of mobile units served via FCC
Form 601. The Commission is extending
this reporting requirement for a period
of three years in the Office of the
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
inventory.

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,
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.
In the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2021, Public Law 116–260, 134
Stat. 1182, 2129–36 (2020), Congress
created the Emergency Broadband
Benefit Program, and directed use of the
National Verifier to determine eligibility
based on various criteria, including the
qualifications for Lifeline (Medicaid,
SNAP, etc.). EBBP provided $3.2 billion
in monthly consumer discounts for
broadband service and one-time
provider reimbursement for a connected
device (laptop, desktop computer or
tablet). In the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act, Public Law 117–58, 135
Stat. 429, 1238–44 (2021) (codified at 47
U.S.C. 1751–52), Congress modified and
extended EBBP, provided an additional
$14.2 billion, and renamed it the
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
A household may qualify for the ACP
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
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
ADDRESSES:
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 ACP. The purpose of this
matching program is to verify the
eligibility of Lifeline and ACP
applicants and subscribers by
determining whether they receive SNAP
benefits administered by the Georgia
Department of Human Services,
Department of Family and Children
Services.
Participating Agencies
Georgia Department of Human
Services, Department of Family and
Children Services (source agency);
Federal Communications Commission
(recipient agency) and Universal Service
Administrative Company.

Program
The authority to conduct the
matching program for the FCC’s ACP is
47 U.S.C. 1752(a)–(b). The authority to
conduct the matching program for the
FCC’s Lifeline program is 47 U.S.C.
254(a)–(c), (j).
Purpose(s)
The purpose of this new matching
agreement is to verify the eligibility of
applicants and subscribers to Lifeline,
as well as to ACP and other Federal
programs that use qualification for
Lifeline as an eligibility criterion. This
new agreement will permit eligibility
verification for the Lifeline program and
ACP by checking an applicant’s/
subscriber’s participation in SNAP in
Georgia. Under FCC rules, consumers
receiving these benefits qualify for
Lifeline discounts and also for ACP
benefits.

benefits.
Categories of Records
The categories of records involved in
the matching program include, but are
not limited to, the last four digits of the
applicant’s Social Security Number,
