1. On November 18, 2011, the 

Commission released the USF/ICC 

Transformation Order and FNPRM, 76 

FR 76623, December 8, 2011, which 

comprehensively reforms and 

modernizes the universal service and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

9654 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 33 / Friday, February 17, 2012 / Notices 

intercarrier compensation systems. 

Among other things, the Commission 

established a transitional mechanism to 

distribute high cost universal service 

support to price cap carriers, known as 

the Connect America Fund Phase I 

(‘‘CAF Phase I’’). CAF Phase I 

incremental support is designed to 

provide an immediate boost to 

broadband deployment in areas that are 

unserved by any broadband provider. 

2. In particular, in CAF Phase I, the 

Commission allocated up to $300 

million of additional, incremental 

universal service support to price cap 

carriers to be distributed using cost 

estimates based on the cost model the 

Commission used to determine High 

Cost Model Support previously. In 

adopting CAF Phase I, the Commission 

specified the process by which such 

support would be distributed, including 

the equation to be used to generate cost 

estimates, and delegated to the Wireline 

Competition Bureau (Bureau) the task of 

performing the calculations necessary to 

determine support amounts and 

selecting the necessary data. 

3. In the Public Notice, the Bureau 

begins the process of implementing CAF 

Phase I by seeking comment on 

potential data that can be used as inputs 

to the equation that will be used to 

determine distribution of the $300 

million, and on a proposed list of wire 

centers that would be eligible to receive 

CAF Phase I incremental support. 

4. First, Windstream Communications 

submitted, pursuant to our protective 

order, data, on a wire center basis, for 

each of the input variables used in the 

equation adopted by the Commission. 

Windstream proposes that we use these 

data to calculate support amounts. We 

seek comment on the data submitted by 

Windstream. Should we use these data 

as a basis for determining eligible 

support amounts in CAF Phase I? 

Should we use an alternate source? We 

encourage commenters with concerns 

about the data Windstream submitted to 

provide alternate data along with an 

explanation of how those data were 

derived, or to explain how we could 

obtain more appropriate data. We 

observe that Windstream’s submission 

does not purport to provide data for all 

wire centers. For example, Windstream 

has not provided data for Alaska or the 

U.S. Territories. Although the Bureau 

has delegated authority to exclude such 

areas from the analysis for CAF Phase I 

incremental support if we conclude that 

we do not have appropriate data 

available, we invite commenters to 

provide appropriate data for such areas. 

We note that it might be possible for the 

Commission to develop input variables 

for some portion of the areas for which 

Windstream did not provide data by, for 

example, applying statistical methods to 

estimate the number of business 

locations in a wire center given 

information about the number of 

residential locations and area of the 

wire center. We seek comment on the 

use of such an approach and whether 

we should use such derived data, 

provided that we are able to do so 

consistent with the Commission’s 

expectation that the Bureau complete 

our work and announce support 

amounts on or before March 31, and that 

we believe that such data are 

sufficiently reliable. 

5. Second, because the Commission 

limited CAF Phase I incremental 

support to price cap carriers, the Bureau 

must therefore exclude from our 

analysis the wire centers of non-price 

cap carriers. The Bureau, after 

conducting its own analysis based on 

the Telcordia LERG Routing Guide and 

Commission data for carriers’ common 

control names, has developed a list of 

wire centers for price cap carriers, 

identified by the eight-digit Common 

Language Location Identifier (CLLI) 

code, which is available through EDOCS 

at http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/ 

edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-12- 

137A2.xls. We seek comment on this 

proposed list. Are all wire centers of 

price cap carriers and rate-of-return 

areas affiliated with price cap carriers 

included? Are there any wire centers 

listed that should not be? We encourage 

commenters identifying errors or 

omissions in our proposed list to 

provide correct information along with 

an explanation of where those data were 

obtained, or explaining how we could 

obtain correct data. 

6. Interested parties may file 

comments on or before March 19, 2012. 

All pleadings are to reference WC 

Docket Nos. 10–90 and 05–337. 

Comments may be filed using the 

Commission’s Electronic Comment

1. The Wireless Telecommunications 

and Wireline Competition Bureaus (the 

Bureaus) announce the availability of an 

updated list, based on January 2012 

American Roamer data, of census blocks 

potentially eligible for Mobility Fund 

Phase I support to be offered in Auction 

901, as well as other updated 

information consistent with the revised 

list. 

2. The Bureaus scheduled Auction 

901 for September 27, 2012, and sought 

comment on procedures for the auction 

and certain program requirements in the 

Auction 901 (Mobility Fund Phase I) 

Comment Public Notice, 77 FR 7152, 

February 10, 2012. The Bureaus 

concluded that they would identify 

census blocks eligible for the Mobility 

Fund Phase I support to be offered in 

Auction 901 based on an analysis of the 

most recent available American Roamer 

data, from January 2012. The Bureaus 

described the methodology for 

identifying potentially eligible blocks 

and provided a preliminary list of such 

blocks based on their analysis of 

October 2011 American Roamer data, in 

electronic format as Attachment A files, 

as well as certain summary information 

(based on the same data) in Attachments 

A and B released with the Auction 901 

Comment Public Notice. Further, the 

Bureaus stated that upon completion of 

their analysis of the January 2012 

American Roamer data they would 

provide an updated list of potentially 

eligible census blocks and related 

updated information for Attachments A 

and B. 

3. The Bureaus have finished that 

analysis and are now providing the 

updated information. The updated list 

of potentially eligible blocks based on 

January 2012 American Roamer data is 

available in electronic format only, as 

separate Attachment A files at http:// 

wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/901/. For each 

potentially eligible block, individually 

identified by its Federal Information 

Processing Series (FIPS) code, these files 

provide the population and area of the 

block; the associated state, county, tract, 

and block group; any associated Tribe 

and Tribal land; and the number of road 

miles in each road mile category. 

4. Attachment A to the Public Notice 

provides a summary of the updated list 

of potentially eligible census blocks 

based on January 2012 American 

Roamer data. For each state and 

territory, Attachment A provides the 

total number of potentially eligible 

census blocks (unserved census blocks 

with road miles), the total number of 

block groups with such blocks, the total 

number of tracts with such blocks, the 

total number of counties with such 

blocks, and the number of cellular 

market areas (CMAs) with such blocks. 

For each state and territory, Attachment 

A also provides the total population and
