Licensees relying on mobile or point-to-multipoint service must show that they are providing reliable signal coverage and service to at least 40 percent of the population within the service area of the licensee, and that they are using facilities to provide service in that area either to customers or for internal use. Licensees relying on point-to-point service must demonstrate that they have four links operating and providing service, either to customers or for internal use, if the population within the license area is equal to or less than 268,000. If the population within the license area is greater than 268,000, a licensee relying on point-to-point service must demonstrate it has at least one link in operation and is providing service for each 67,000 population within the license area. (b) Existing 39 GHz licensees shall not be required to make a showing pursuant to this rule and shall be governed by the provisions of § 101.17 of this chapter if the expiration date of their license is prior to March 1, 2021. Showings that rely on a combination of multiple types of service will be evaluated on a caseby-case basis. (c) If a licensee in this service is also a Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) licensee and uses the spectrum covered under its UMFUS license in connection with a satellite earth station, it can demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this section by demonstrating that the earth station in question is in service, operational, and using the spectrum associated with the license. This provision can only be used to demonstrate compliance for the county in which the earth station is located. (d) Failure to meet this requirement will result in automatic cancellation of the license. In bands licensed on a Partial Economic Area basis, licensees will have the option of partitioning a license on a county basis in order to reduce the population within the license area to a level where the licensee’s buildout would meet one of the applicable performance metrics. (e) Existing 28 GHz and 39 GHz licensees shall be required to make a VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Jun 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 showing pursuant to this rule by June 1, 2024. § 30.107, Subpart B—Applications and Licenses—Discontinuance of Service An Upper Microwave Flexible Use License authorization will automatically terminate, without specific Commission action, if the licensee permanently discontinues service after the initial license term. (a) For licensees with common carrier regulatory status, permanent discontinuance of service is defined as 180 consecutive days during which a licensee does not provide service to at least one subscriber that is not affiliated with, controlled by, or related to the licensee in the individual license area. For licensees with non-common carrier status, permanent discontinuance of service is defined as 180 consecutive days during which a licensee does not operate. (b) A licensee that permanently discontinues service as defined in this section must notify the Commission of the discontinuance within 10 days by filing FCC Form 601 or 605 requesting license cancellation. An authorization will automatically terminate, without specific Commission action, if service is permanently discontinued as defined in this section, even if a licensee fails to file the required form requesting license cancellation.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r). Total Annual Burden: 1,760 hours. Total Annual Cost: No cost. Needs and Uses: On November 18, 2011, the Commission released the USF/ ICC Transformation Order (FCC 11–161) in which it comprehensively reformed and modernized 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. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission, among other things, adopted a requirement that all eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) offer broadband service in their supported area that meets certain basic performance requirements and report regularly on associated performance measures as a condition of receiving federal high-cost universal service support. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Jun 24, 2024 Jkt 262001 On October 27, 2020, the Commission adopted the 5G Fund Report and Order (FCC 20–150) in which it, among other things, helped to complete the reform of the high-cost program begun in the USF/ICC Transformation Order by adopting additional public interest obligations and performance requirements for legacy high-cost support recipients, whose broadbandspecific public interest obligations for mobile wireless services were not previously detailed. The public interest obligations adopted in the 5G Fund Report and Order for each competitive ETC receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services require that such competitive ETC (1) use an increasing percentage of its legacy support toward the deployment, maintenance, and operation of voice and broadband networks that support 5G meeting the adopted performance requirements within its subsidized service area(s), and (2) meet specific 5G broadband service deployment coverage requirements and service deployment milestone deadlines that take into consideration the amount of legacy support the carrier receives. In order to gain a complete understanding of the current service offerings of each competitive ETC receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services, the Commission adopted rules that require each such competitive ETC to file an initial report containing information and certifications about its current mobile service offerings in each of its subsidized service areas and how it is using legacy support and whether it is offering mobile services in its subsidized service areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas. See 47 CFR 54.322(g), (h). The information and certifications provided in these initial reports will be used by the Commission to ensure that competitive ETCs receiving legacy highcost support for mobile wireless services deploy 5G service by in their subsidized service areas consistent with the rules adopted by the Commission in the 5G Fund Report and Order. A revision to the currently approved information collection requirements under OMB 3060–1291 is necessary in order to remove a requirement that applies only to the annual reports that must be filed by competitive ETCs receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services information requirement, which was inadvertently included in the information collection under OMB 3060–1291 as previously approved by OMB.

collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: Up to 110 respondents and 110 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 16 hours.
    Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 1,760 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: On November 18, 2011, the Commission released the 
USF/ICC Transformation Order (FCC 11-161) in which it comprehensively 
reformed and modernized 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. In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the 
Commission, among other things, adopted a requirement that all eligible 
telecommunications carriers (ETCs) offer broadband service in their 
supported area that meets certain basic performance requirements and 
report regularly on associated performance measures as a condition of 
receiving federal high-cost universal service support.
    On October 27, 2020, the Commission adopted the 5G Fund Report and 
Order (FCC 20-150) in which it, among other things, helped to complete 
the reform of the high-cost program begun in the USF/ICC Transformation 
Order by adopting additional public interest obligations and 
performance requirements for legacy high-cost support recipients, whose 
broadband-specific public interest obligations for mobile wireless 
services were not previously detailed. The public interest obligations 
adopted in the 5G Fund Report and Order for each competitive ETC 
receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services require 
that such competitive ETC (1) use an increasing percentage of its 
legacy support toward the deployment, maintenance, and operation of 
voice and broadband networks that support 5G meeting the adopted 
performance requirements within its subsidized service area(s), and (2) 
meet specific 5G broadband service deployment coverage requirements and 
service deployment milestone deadlines that take into consideration the 
amount of legacy support the carrier receives.
    In order to gain a complete understanding of the current service 
offerings of each competitive ETC receiving legacy high-cost support 
for mobile wireless services, the Commission adopted rules that require 
each such competitive ETC to file an initial report containing 
information and certifications about its current mobile service 
offerings in each of its subsidized service areas and how it is using 
legacy support and whether it is offering mobile services in its 
subsidized service areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to 
those charged in urban areas. See 47 CFR 54.322(g), (h). The 
information and certifications provided in these initial reports will 
be used by the Commission to ensure that competitive ETCs receiving 
legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services deploy 5G service 
by in their subsidized service areas consistent with the rules adopted 
by the Commission in the 5G Fund Report and Order.
    A revision to the currently approved information collection 
requirements under OMB 3060-1291 is necessary in order to remove a 
requirement that applies only to the annual reports that must be filed 
by competitive ETCs receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile 
wireless services information requirement, which was inadvertently 
included in the information collection under OMB 3060-1291 as 
previously approved by OMB.
