and state, local or tribal governments.

Responses: 300 respondents and 300 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 7 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to

authority for this information collection 

47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 2,100 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will use the information collected under 

this information collection to determine 

whether applicants are qualified to

In its November 2011 USF/ICC 

Transformation Order, the Commission 

took numerous steps to 

comprehensively reform and modernize 

the universal service program to ensure 

that robust, affordable fixed and mobile 

voice and broadband service are 

available to those in rural, insular, and 

high cost areas of the country. Connect 

America Fund et al., Order and Further 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 

11–161 (USF/ICC Transformation 

Order). Among other things, the 

Commission (1) established a twophased Mobility Fund to award 

universal service support for mobile 

services in a cost-effective manner to no 

more than one provider per area in areas 

where a private-sector business case was 

lacking, (2) directed that universal 

service support under the Mobility 

Fund be awarded by competitive 

bidding, (3) adopted the rules and 

framework for Mobility Fund Phase I, 

and (4) sought comment on the rules 

and proposed framework for Mobility 

Fund Phase II. In its February 2017 

Mobility Fund Phase II Report and 

Order, the Commission adopted the 

rules and framework for Mobility Fund 

Phase II to provide ongoing universal 

service support over a ten-year term to 

areas of the country unlikely to receive 

4G LTE service absent subsidies, along 

with the framework for a challenge 

process to resolve disputes about areas 

that were found to be presumptively 

ineligible for support. Connect America 

Fund; Universal Service Reform— 

Mobility Fund II, Report and Order and 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

FCC 17–11. However, in its October 

2020 5G Fund Report and Order, the 

Commission established the 5G Fund as 

a replacement for Mobility Fund Phase 

II, and adopted the framework and rules 

for the 5G Fund to award universal 

service support in two phases through 

separate reverse auctions to ensure the 

deployment of high-speed, 5G mobile 

service in areas unlikely to see such 

service absent subsidies. Establishing a 

5G Fund for Rural America, Report and 

Order, FCC 20–150 (5G Fund Report 

and Order). In the 5G Fund Report and 

Order, the Commission, among other 

things, adopted a two-stage application 

process for 5G Fund auctions consisting 

of pre-auction requirements for 

applicants seeking to participate in a 5G 

Fund auction and post-auction 

requirements for winning bidders 

applying for 5G Fund support. The 

Commission decided that applicants 

seeking to participate in a 5G Fund 

auction would be required to provide 

both the information required by section 

1.21001(b) of the Commission’s existing 

Part 1, Subpart AA universal service 

competitive bidding rules, 47 CFR 

1.21001(b), and the additional 

application disclosures and 

certifications specific to the 5G Fund 

required by section 54.1014(a) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 54.1014(a). 

Under this new information 

collection, the Commission will collect 

the information, disclosures, and 

certifications required by sections 

1.21001(b) and 54.1014(a) of the 

Commission’s rules from each applicant 

seeking to participate in a 5G Fund 

auction, and will use the information, 

disclosures, and certifications to 

determine whether an applicant is 

legally, technically, and financially 

qualified to participate in a 5G Fund 

auction. To aid in collecting this 

information, the Commission has 

created FCC Form 184, which will be 

used to provide the information, 

disclosures, and certifications required 

by sections 1.21001(b) and 54.1014(a). 

Commission staff will review the 

information, disclosures, and 

certifications collected on FCC Form 

184 as part of the pre-auction process, 

prior to the start of the auction, and 

determine whether each applicant 

satisfies the Commission’s requirements 

to participate in an auction for 5G Fund 

support. Without the information 

collected on FCC Form 184, the 

Commission will not be able to 

determine if an applicant is legally 

qualified to participate in a 5G Fund 

auction and has complied with the 

various applicable regulatory and 

statutory auction requirements for such 

participation. This approach provides 

an appropriate screen to ensure serious 

participation without being unduly 

burdensome.

as part of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021, div. BB, tit. I, 

Public Law 116–260 (Dec. 27, 2020), 

requires the Secretaries of Labor, HHS, 

and the Treasury to establish and 

convene an advisory committee for the 

purpose of reviewing options to 

improve the disclosure of charges and 

fees for ground ambulance services, 

better inform consumers of insurance 

options for such services, and protect 

consumers from balance billing. The 

GAPB Advisory Committee is governed 

by the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public 

Law 92–463 (Oct. 6, 1972), as amended,

insurance coverage, consumer 

protection and enforcement authorities 

of the Departments of Labor, Health and 

Human Services, and the Treasury (the 

Departments) and relevant States, and 

the prevention of balance billing to 

consumers. The recommendations shall 

address options, best practices, and 

identified standards to prevent 

instances of balance billing; steps that 

can be taken by State legislatures, State 

insurance regulators, State attorneys 

general, and other State officials as 

appropriate, consistent with current 

legal authorities regarding consumer 

protection; and legislative options for 

Congress to prevent balance billing. The 

purpose of renewing the GAPB

recommendations that it has been 

charged with making. A copy of the
