FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[AU Docket No. 12–25; DA 12–355] 

Mobility Fund Phase I Auction GIS 

Data of Potentially Eligible Census 

Blocks 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission’s Wireless 

Telecommunications and Wireline 

Competition Bureaus (the ‘‘Bureaus’’) 

announce the availability of geographic 

information system (GIS) data for the 

census blocks potentially eligible for 

Mobility Fund Phase I support to be 

offered in Auction 901. This data does 

not update or replace the list of 

potentially eligible blocks. Rather, it 

provides the same data in additional 

formats and thus just supplements the 

previously-released data files and 

interactive map. The Bureaus are taking 

this step to make the data accessible to 

more people and to make it easier to use 

for individual analysis. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa 

Stover of the Auctions and Spectrum 

Access Division at (717) 338–2868. To 

request materials in accessible formats 

(Braille, large print, electronic files, 

audio format) for people with 

disabilities, send an email to 

fcc504@fcc.gov or call the Consumer 

and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 

(202) 418–0530 or (202) 418–0432 

(TTY). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Mobility Fund Phase I 

Auction GIS Data for Potentially Eligible 

Census Blocks Public Notice (Public 

Notice) released on March 8, 2012. The 

Public Notice and related Commission 

documents may be purchased from the

Electronic Comment Filing System 

(ECFS) Web page at http://www.fcc.gov/

1. In the Auction 901 Comment Public 

Notice, 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. A summary of the Auction 901 

Comment Public Notice was published 

in the Federal Register at 77 Fed. Reg. 

7152 (Feb. 10, 2012). With the Auction 

901 Comment Public Notice, the 

Bureaus provided, at paragraphs 15, and 

18–19, a preliminary list of such blocks 

using older American Roamer data and 

stated that they would provide an 

updated list of potentially eligible 

census blocks and related updated 

information upon completion of their 

analysis of the January 2012 American 

Roamer data. With the Auction 901 

Updated Potentially Eligible Blocks 

Public Notice, (77 FR 9655, February 17, 

2012), the Bureaus provided the 

updated list of potentially eligible 

blocks based on January 2012 American 

Roamer data in electronic format as 

‘‘Attachment A’’ files. 

2. Concurrent with the release of 

Auction 901 Updated Potentially 

Eligible Blocks Public Notice, the 

Bureaus announced the availability of a 

map of the updated potentially eligible 

blocks. The map is an interactive visual 

representation of data from the updated 

Attachment A files. The Attachment A 

files contain more information and 

generally more detail than is displayed 

on the map. The map is available at 

http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/901/and 

at http://www.fcc.gov/maps/. 

3. The data formats the Bureaus make 

available are additional formats of the 

data as shown in the interactive map. 

These formats, which are available at 

http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/901/, 

are the following: 

• Downloadable shapefile 

• Web mapping service 

• MapBox map tiles 

4. The shapefile format is actually 

four individual files (.dbf, .shp, .shx, 

and .prj) all with the same prefix. That 

information is available at: ‘‘Esri 

Shapefile Technical Description,’’ 

http://www.esri.com/library/ 

whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf. This 

format is generally recognized as a 

standard transfer file for GIS data. The 

shapefile is an accepted transfer in just 

about every GIS software package. 

5. Web mapping service (WMS) is an 

Open Geospatial Consortium standard 

for delivering geospatial data over the 

web. That information is available at 

http://www.opengeospatial.org/ 

standards. The WMS data service can be 

viewed in two ways. First, the data can 

be viewed by using the URL. Second, 

most GIS software allows you to add 

this service as a layer to your session or 

project. 

6. MapBox map tiles are cached map 

tiles of the data. With this open source 

software approach, these image tiles can 

be joined with other MapBox layers to 

make new maps. This information is 

available at http://mapbox.com/. 

7. For additional information about 

Auction 901, including an overview of 

requirements to participate in the 

auction and proposals for auction 

procedures, you should consult the 

Auction 901 Comment Public Notice. As 

set forth in that public notice, comments 

were due February 24, and reply 

comments were due March 9, 2012. As 

set forth in ‘‘Mobility Fund Phase I 

Auction; Limited Extension of 

Deadlines for Comments and Reply 

Comments on Census Block Eligibility 

Challenges,’’ comments and reply 

comments on census block eligibility 

challenges are due March 16, 2012, and 

March 26, 2012, respectively. Public 

notices and additional information 

about Auction 901 may be found at
