FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–XXXX; FR ID 246358] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

Comments are requested concerning: 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

PRA that does not display a valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before November 25, 

2024. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. 

Title: Application to Participate in a 

5G Fund Auction, FCC Form 184. 

Form Number: FCC Form 184. 

Type of Review: New collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions, 

and state, local or tribal governments. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 300 respondents and 300 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 7 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is 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 

participate in a 5G Fund auction. 

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). 

In its recent 5G Fund Second Report 

and Order (FCC 24–89), the Commission 

adopted an additional requirement that 

each applicant seeking to participate in 

the 5G Fund Phase I auction certify in 

its application that it has read the public 

notice adopting procedures for the 

auction and that it has familiarized itself 

both with the auction procedures and 

with the requirements, terms, and 

conditions associated with the receipt of 

5G Fund support. 

Under this new information 

collection, the Commission will collect 

the information, disclosures, and 

certifications required by sections 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2024 / Notices 78303 

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.
