Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 107 / Monday, June 7, 2021 / Notices and avoid posing any operational constraints to the inhabitable spacecraft.
5 The disclosure must include a certification that upon receipt of a space situational awareness conjunction warning, the operator will review and take all possible steps to assess the collision risk, and will mitigate the collision risk if necessary. As appropriate, steps to assess and mitigate the collision risk should include, but are not limited to: Contacting the operator of any active spacecraft involved in such a warning; sharing ephemeris data and other appropriate operational information with any such operator; and modifying space station attitude and/or operations.
6 For NGSO space stations the disclosure must describe the extent of satellite maneuverability.
7 The disclosure must address trackability of the space stations. For NGSO space stations the disclosure must also include: a How the operator plans to identify the space stations following deployment and whether the space station tracking will be active or passive; b whether, prior to deployment the space stations will be registered with the 18th Space Control Squadron or successor entity; and c the extent to which the space station operator plans to share information regarding initial deployment, ephemeris, and/or planned maneuvers with the 18th Space Control Squadron or successor entity, other entities that engage in space situational awareness or space traffic management functions, and/or other operators.
8 For NGSO space stations, additional disclosures must be provided regarding spacecraft disposal, including, for some space stations, a demonstration that the probability of success of the chosen disposal method is 0.9 or greater for any individual space station, and for multi-satellite systems, a demonstration including additional information regarding efforts to achieve a higher probability of success.

On November 18, 2011, the Commission released the USF/ICC
transformation Order FCC 11161 in which it comprehensively reformed and modernized the universal service and intercarrier compensation systems to ensure that robust, affordable voice and broadband service, both fixed and mobile, are available to Americans throughout the nation. In the USF/ICC
Transformation Order, the Commission, among other things, adopted a requirement that all eligible telecommunications carriers ETCs offer broadband service in their supported area that meets certain basic performance requirements and report regularly on associated performance measures as a condition of receiving federal high-cost universal service support.
On October 27, 2020, the Commission adopted the 5G Fund Report and Order FCC 20150 in which it, among other

things, helped to complete the reform of the high-cost program begun in the USF/ICC Transformation Order by adopting additional public interest obligations and performance requirements for legacy high-cost support recipients, whose broadbandspecific public interest obligations for mobile wireless services were not previously detailed. The public interest obligations adopted in the 5G Fund Report and Order for each competitive ETC receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services require that such competitive ETC 1 use an increasing percentage of its legacy support toward the deployment, maintenance, and operation of voice and broadband networks that support 5G meeting the adopted performance requirements within its subsidized service areas, and 2 meet specific 5G
broadband service deployment coverage requirements and service deployment milestone deadlines that take into consideration the amount of legacy support the carrier receives.
In order to gain a complete understanding of the current service offerings of each competitive ETC
receiving legacy high-cost support for mobile wireless services, the Commission adopted rules that require each such competitive ETC to file an initial report containing information and certifications about 1 its current mobile service offerings in each of its subsidized service areas and how it is using legacy support, 2 whether it is offering mobile services in its subsidized service areas at rates that are reasonably comparable to those charged in urban areas, and 3 whether it has availed itself of the geographic flexibility granted by the Commission concerning its use of support within any other designated service areas for which it or an affiliated competitive ETC receives legacy support. See 47
CFR 54.313p, 54.322g, h. The information and certifications provided in these initial reports will be used by the Commission to ensure that competitive ETCs receiving legacy highcost support for mobile wireless services deploy 5G service by in their subsidized service areas consistent with the rules adopted by the Commission in the 5G
Fund Report and Order.
