§ 30.104, Subpart B—Applications and
Licenses—Construction Requirements
(a) UMFUS (Upper Microwave
Flexible Use Service) licensees must
make a buildout showing as part of their
renewal applications. 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

§ 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.

As part of its continuing effort to

by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the FCC

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated

3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific
comment on how it might ‘‘further

Title: Legacy High-Cost Support
Recipient Initial Report of Current
Service Offerings.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit 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 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.
