12454 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2022 / Notices 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The 

authorizing statutes for this information 

collection are: Telephone Consumer 

Protection Act of 1991, Public Law 102– 

243. 105 Stat. 2394 (1991); Junk Fax 

Prevention Act, Public Law 109–21, 119 

Stat. 359 (2005). 

Total Annual Burden: 3,670,625 

hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,062,142. 

Needs and Uses: On April 5, 2006, the 

Commission adopted a Report and 

Order and Third Order on 

Reconsideration, In the Matter of Rules 

and Regulations Implementing the 

Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 

1991; Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, 

CG Docket Nos. 02–278 and 05–338, 

FCC 06–42, which modified the 

Commission’s facsimile advertising 

rules to implement the Junk Fax 

Prevention Act. The Report and Order 

and Third Order on Reconsideration 

contained information collection 

requirements pertaining to: (1) Opt-out 

Notice and Do-Not-Fax Requests 

Recordkeeping in which the rules 

require senders of unsolicited facsimile 

advertisements to include a notice on 

the first page of the facsimile that 

informs the recipient of the ability and 

means to request that they not receive 

future unsolicited facsimile 

advertisements from the sender; (2) 

Established Business Relationship 

Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax 

Prevention Act provides that the sender, 

e.g., a person, business, or a nonprofit/ 

institution, is prohibited from faxing an 

unsolicited advertisement to a facsimile 

machine unless the sender has an 

‘‘established business relationship’’ 

(EBR) with the recipient; (3) Facsimile 

Number Recordkeeping in which the 

Junk Fax Prevention Act provides that 

an EBR alone does not entitle a sender 

to fax an advertisement to an individual 

or business. The fax number must also 

be provided voluntarily by the recipient; 

and (4) Express Invitation or Permission 

Recordkeeping where in the absence of 

an EBR, the sender must obtain the prior 

express invitation or permission from 

the consumer before sending the 

facsimile advertisement. 

On October 14, 2008, the Commission 

released an Order on Reconsideration, 

FCC 08–239, addressing certain issues 

raised in petitions for reconsideration 

and/or clarification filed in response to 

the Commission’s Report and Order and 

Third Order on Reconsideration (Junk 

Fax Order), FCC 06–42. In document 

FCC 08–239, the Commission clarified 

that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by 

third parties on behalf of the facsimile 

sender will be presumed to have been 

made voluntarily available for public 

distribution so long as they are obtained 

from the intended recipient’s own 

directory, advertisement, or internet 

site; (2) Reasonable steps to verify that 

a recipient has agreed to make available 

a facsimile number for public 

distribution may include methods other 

than direct contact with the recipient; 

and (3) a description of the facsimile 

sender’s opt-out mechanism on the first 

web page to which recipients are 

directed in the opt-out notice satisfies 

the requirement that such a description 

appear on the first page of the website. 

The Commission believes these 

clarifications will assist senders of 

facsimile advertisements in complying 

with the Commission’s rules in a 

manner that minimizes regulatory 

compliance costs while maintaining the 

protections afforded consumers under 

the Telephone Consumer Protection Act 

(TCPA).

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[FR ID: 74978] 

Privacy Act of 1974; Matching Program 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a new matching 

program. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 

(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document 

announces a new computer matching 

program the Federal Communications 

Commission (‘‘FCC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’ 

or ‘‘Agency’’) and the Universal Service 

Administrative Company (USAC) will 

conduct with the Washington State 

Department of Social and Health 

Services, Economic Services 

Administration (‘‘Department’’) 

(‘‘Agency’’). The purpose of this 

matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of applicants to and 

subscribers of Lifeline, and the 

Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), 

both of which are administered by 

USAC under the direction of the FCC. 

More information about these programs 

is provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section below. 

DATES: Written comments are due on or 

before April 4, 2022. This computer 

matching program will commence on 

April 4, 2022, and will conclude 18 

months after the effective date. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Linda 

Oliver, FCC, 45 L Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20554, or to Privacy@

fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Linda Oliver at 202–418–1732 or 

Privacy@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Lifeline program provides support for 

discounted broadband and voice 

services to low-income consumers. 

Lifeline is administered by the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) under FCC direction. 

Consumers qualify for Lifeline through 

proof of income or participation in a 

qualifying program, such as Medicaid, 

the Supplemental Nutritional 

Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal 

Public Housing Assistance, 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI), 

Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit, 

or various Tribal-specific federal 

assistance programs. 

In the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 

Stat. 1182, 2129–36 (2020) (codified at 

47 U.S.C. 1301 nt.), Congress created the 

Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, 

and directed use of the National Verifier 

to determine eligibility based on various 

criteria, including the qualifications for 

Lifeline (Medicaid, SNAP, etc.). EBBP 

provided $3.2 billion in monthly 

consumer discounts for broadband 

service and one-time provider 

reimbursement for a connected device 

(laptop, desktop computer or tablet). In 

the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 

Act, Public Law 117–58, 135 Stat. 429, 

1238–44 (2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 

1751–52), Congress modified and 

extended EBBP, provided an additional 

$14.2 billion, and renamed it the 

Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). 

A household may qualify for the ACP 

benefit under various criteria, including 

an individual qualifying for the FCC’s 

Lifeline program. 

In a Report and Order adopted on 

March 31, 2016, (81 FR 33026, May 24, 

2016) (2016 Lifeline Modernization 

Order), the Commission ordered USAC 

to create a National Lifeline Eligibility 

Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), including 

the National Lifeline Eligibility Database 

(LED), that would match data about 

Lifeline applicants and subscribers with 

other data sources to verify the 

eligibility of an applicant or subscriber. 

The Commission found that the 

National Verifier would reduce 

compliance costs for Lifeline service 

providers, improve service for Lifeline 

subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud, 

and abuse in the program. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act 

of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2022 / Notices 12455 

National Verifier to verify applicants’ 

eligibility for ACP. The purpose of this 

matching program is to verify the 

eligibility of Lifeline and ACP 

applicants and subscribers by 

determining whether they receive 

Medicaid or SNAP benefits 

administered by the Washington State 

Department of Social and Health 

Services, Economic Services 

Administration. 

Participating Agencies 

Washington State Department of 

Social and Health Services, Economic 

Services Administration. 

Authority for Conducting the Matching 

Program 

The authority for the FCC’s ACP is 

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 

Public Law 117–58, 135 Stat. 429, 1238– 

44 (2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1751– 

52); 47 CFR part 54. The authority for 

the FCC’s Lifeline program is 47 U.S.C. 

254; 47 CFR 54.400 through 54.423; 

Lifeline and Link Up Reform and 

Modernization, et al., Third Report and 

Order, Further Report and Order, and 

Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC Rcd 

3962, 4006–21, paras. 126–66 (2016) 

(2016 Lifeline Modernization Order). 

Purpose(s) 

The purpose of this modified 

matching agreement is to verify the 

eligibility of applicants and subscribers 

to Lifeline, as well as to ACP and other 

Federal programs that use qualification 

for Lifeline as an eligibility criterion. 

This new agreement will permit 

eligibility verification for the Lifeline 

program and ACP by checking an 

applicant’s/subscriber’s participation in 

Medicaid and SNAP in Washington. 

Under FCC rules, consumers receiving 

these benefits qualify for Lifeline 

discounts and also for ACP benefits. 

Categories of Individuals 

The categories of individuals whose 

information is involved in the matching 

program include, but are not limited to, 

those individuals who have applied for 

Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are 

currently receiving Lifeline and/or ACP 

benefits; are individuals who enable 

another individual in their household to 

qualify for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; 

are minors whose status qualifies a 

parent or guardian for Lifeline and/or 

ACP benefits; or are individuals who 

have received Lifeline and/or ACP 

benefits. 

Categories of Records 

The categories of records involved in 

the matching program include, but are 

not limited to, the last four digits of the 

applicant’s Social Security Number, 

date of birth, and first and last name. 

The National Verifier will transfer these 

data elements to the Washington State 

Department of Social and Health 

Services, Economic Services 

Administration, which will respond 

either ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no’’ that the individual 

is enrolled in a qualifying assistance 

program: Medicaid or SNAP 

administered by the Washington State 

Department of Social and Health 

Services, Economic Services 

Administration.
