46810 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 193 / Friday, October 6, 2017 / Notices 

clearance from OMB. In its November 

2011 USF/ICC Transformation Order 

(FCC 11–161), the Commission 

established the Mobility Fund, which 

consists of two phases. Mobility Fund 

Phase I (MF–I) provided one-time 

universal service support payments to 

immediately accelerate deployment of 

mobile broadband services. MF–II will 

use a reverse auction to provide ongoing 

universal service support payments to 

continue to advance deployment of such 

services. The Commission adopted the 

rules and framework for MF–I in the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order, and 

sought comment in an accompanying 

further notice of proposed rulemaking 

on the proposed framework for MF–II. 

In its February 2017 Mobility Fund II 

Report and Order and Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (MF–II Report 

and Order and/or FNPRM) (FCC 17–11), 

the FCC adopted the rules and 

framework for moving forward 

expeditiously with the MF–II auction. 

Among other things, the Commission 

stated in the MF–II Report and Order 

that, prior to the auction, it would 

establish a map of areas presumptively 

eligible for MF–II support based on the 

most recently available FCC Form 477 

mobile wireless coverage data, and 

provide a limited timeframe for parties 

to challenge those initial determinations 

during the pre-auction process. The 

Commission sought comment in the 

accompanying Mobility Fund II FNPRM 

on how to best design a robust, targeted 

MF–II challenge process that efficiently 

resolves disputes about the areas 

eligible for MF–II support. 

In August 2017, the Commission 

released an Order on Reconsideration 

and Second Report and Order 

(Challenge Process Order) (FCC 17–102) 

in which it (1) reconsidered its earlier 

decision to use FCC Form 477 data to 

compile the map of areas presumptively 

eligible for MF–II support and decided 

it would instead conduct a new, onetime data collection with specified data 

parameters tailored to MF–II to 

determine the areas in which there is 

deployment of qualified LTE that will 

be used (together with high-cost 

disbursement data available from the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC)) for this purpose, and 

(2) adopted a streamlined challenge 

process that will efficiently resolve 

disputes about areas deemed 

presumptively ineligible for MF–II 

support. The map of areas 

presumptively eligible for MF–II 

support will serve as the starting point 

for the challenge process pursuant to 

which an interested party (challenger) 

may initiate a challenge with respect to 

one or more areas initially deemed 

ineligible for MF–II support (i.e., areas 

not listed on the Commission’s map of 

areas presumptively eligible for MF–II 

support and challenged parties can 

respond to challenges. 

A challenger seeking to initiate a 

challenge of one or more areas initially 

deemed ineligible in the Commission’s 

map of areas presumptively eligible for 

MF–II support may do so via the online 

challenge portal developed by USAC for 

this purpose (the USAC portal). For 

each state, a challenger must (1) identify 

the area(s) it seeks to challenge, (2) 

submit detailed proof of a lack of 

unsubsidized, qualified 4G LTE 

coverage in each challenged area in the 

form of actual outdoor speed test data 

collected using the standardized 

parameters specified by the Commission 

in the Challenge Process Order and any 

other parameters the Commission or the 

Wireless Telecommunications Bureau 

and Wireline Competition Bureau (the 

Bureaus) may implement, and (3) certify 

its challenge. 

After the challenge window closes, 

the USAC system will use an automated 

challenge validation process developed 

by USAC to validate a challenger’s 

evidence and will determine which 

challenged areas pass validation and 

which fail. Once all valid challenges 

have been identified, a challenged party 

that chooses to respond to any valid 

challenge(s) will have a response 

window within which to submit 

additional data via the online USAC 

portal. A challenged party may submit 

technical information that is probative 

regarding the validity of a challenger’s 

speed tests (i.e., information 

demonstrating that the challenger’s 

speed tests are invalid or do not 

accurately reflect network performance), 

including speed test data and other 

device-specific data collected from 

transmitter monitoring software or, 

alternatively, may submit its own speed 

test data that conforms to the same 

standards and requirements specified by 

the Commission and the Bureaus for 

challengers. 

In conjunction with the qualified 4G 

LTE data separately collected pursuant 

to OMB 3060–1242 that will be used to 

create the map of areas presumptively 

eligible for MF–II support, the 

information collected under this new 

MF–II challenge process collection will 

enable the Commission to efficiently 

resolve disputes concerning the 

eligibility or ineligibility of an area 

initially deemed ineligible for MF–II 

support and establish the final map of 

areas eligible for such support, thereby 

furthering the Commission’s goal of 

targeting MF–II support to areas that 

lack adequate mobile voice and 

broadband coverage absent subsidies 

through a transparent process.
