Abstract: This new request is being submitted to obtain Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new, one-time information collection requirement necessary to implement the framework adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for Phase II of the Mobility Fund (MF-II), as explained below.

Emergency Justfication: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to submit the information collection described herein under the “emergency processing” provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (5 CFR 1320.13). The Commission is requesting clearance for a new, one-time information collection entitled: 3060-XXXX, Qualified 4G LTE Coverage Data Collection for Mobility Fund Phase II. We respectfully request OMB approval for this new information collection no later than 35 days after it is received at OMB. The requirements reported under this new, one-time information collection are necessary to implement the framework adopted by the Commission for Phase II of the Mobility Fund (MF-II). The information collected will be used by the Commission to determine what areas are covered by qualified 4G LTE for purposes of compiling a map of areas that are presumptively eligible for MF-II support.
