47736 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Notices 

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 preauction process. 

The Commission received serval 

petitions for reconsideration of the 

MF–II Report and Order, including one 

asking it to reconsider the decision to 

use existing FCC Form 477 data as the 

basis for determining the map of areas 

presumptively eligible for MF–II 

support, and offering an industry 

consensus proposal asking the 

Commission to undertake a new, onetime data collection with specified data 

parameters tailored to MF–II to 

determine the areas in which there is 

deployment of qualified Long Term 

Evolution (LTE). On August 4, 2017, the 

Commission released an Order on 

Reconsideration and Second Report and 

Order (FCC 17–102) in which it, among 

other things, reconsidered its earlier 

decision to use FCC Form 477 data to 

compile the map of areas presumptively 

eligible for MF–II support. The 

Commission decided it would instead 

conduct a new, one-time data collection 

of 4G LTE coverage data that will be 

used for this purpose, concluding that 

for purposes of implementing MF–II 

expeditiously, this approach will 

provide the Commission and interested 

parties with the best available starting 

point for the challenge process and 

should result in fewer and more 

narrowly-focused challenges regarding 

representations of coverage. 

Only those providers that have 

previously reported 4G LTE coverage in 

FCC Form 477 and have qualified 4G 

LTE coverage (defined by download 

speeds of 5 Mbps at the cell edge with 

80 percent probability and a 30 percent 

loading factor) will be required to 

submit data under this new, one-time 

information collection. Such providers 

will be required to file propagation 

maps and model details with the 

Commission indicating their current 4G 

LTE coverage in accordance with a 

public notice that will be issued in 

advance of the start of period within 

which providers must make their filings 

that provides instructions for how to file 

the data submission, including a data 

specification, formatting information, 

and any other technical parameters that 

may be necessary for such filings. The 

Commission will use the new coverage 

data, in conjunction with subsidy data 

available from the Universal Service 

Administrative Company (USAC), to 

create the map of areas presumptively 

eligible for MF–II support.

Proposed Project 

Pulmonary Function Testing Course 

Approval Program (OMB Control 

Number 0920–0138, Expired 4/30/ 

2017)—Reinstatement with Change— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NIOSH has the responsibility under 

the Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration’s Cotton Dust Standard, 

29 CFR 1920.1043, for approving 

courses to train technicians to perform 

pulmonary function testing in the cotton 

industry. Successful completion of a 

NIOSH-approved course is mandatory 

under this Standard. In addition, 

regulations at 42 CFR 37.95(a) specify 

that persons administering spirometry 

tests for the national Coal Workers’ 

Health Surveillance Program must 

successfully complete a NIOSHapproved spirometry training course 

and maintain a valid certificate by 

periodically completing NIOSHapproved spirometry refresher training 

courses. Also, 29 CFR 

1910.1053(i)(2)(iv), 29 CFR 

1910.1053(i)(3), 29 CFR 

1926.1153(h)(2)(iv) and 29 CFR 

1926.1153(h)(3) specify that pulmonary 

function tests for initial and periodic 

examinations in general industry and 

construction, performed under the 

respirable crystalline silica standard 

should be administered by a spirometry 

technician with a current certificate 

from a NIOSH-approved spirometry 

course. NIOSH is requesting a three-year 

approval. 

To carry out its responsibility, NIOSH 

maintains a Pulmonary Function 

Training Course Approval Program. The 

program consists of an application 

submitted by potential sponsors 

(universities, hospitals, and private 

consulting firms) who seek NIOSH 

approval to conduct courses, and if 

approved, notification to NIOSH of any 

course or faculty changes during the 

approval period, which is limited to five 

years. The primary focus of this program 

is to verify that each course sponsor 

maintains faculty expertise and 

curriculum content that supports the 

training of technicians to perform 

spirometry testing under current 

professional clinical-practice guidelines. 

NIOSH reviews the application form 

and added materials, including an 

agenda, curriculum vitae, and course 

materials to determine if the applicant 

has developed a program that adheres to 

the criteria required in the Standard.
