2020; Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain Through FCC Programs ZTE Designation, PS Docket No. 19352, Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA
201399 PSHSB rel. Nov. 24, 2020.
On December 10, 2020, the Commission adopted the Second Report and Order implementing the Secure Networks Act, which contained certain new information collection requirements. See Protecting Against National Security Threats to the Communications Supply Chain Through FCC Programs, WC Docket No. 1889, Second Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd 14284 2020 Second Report and Order. These requirements will allow the Commission to receive, review and make eligibility determinations and funding decisions on applications to participate in the Reimbursement Program that are filed by certain providers of advanced communications service. These new information collection requirements will also assist the Commission in processing funding disbursement requests and in monitoring and furthering compliance with applicable program requirements to protect against waste, fraud, and abuse.
On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, appropriating $1.9 billion to carry out the Reimbursement Program and amending the Reimbursement Program eligibility requirements to expand eligibility to include providers of advanced communications service with 10 million or fewer subscribers. See Public Law 116260, Division N-Additional Coronavirus Response and Relief, Title IX-Broadband internet Access Service, 901, 906, 134 Stat. 1182 2020. The Commission has interpreted the term provider of advanced communications service to mean facilities-based providers, whether fixed or mobile, with a broadband connection to end users with at least 200 kbps in one direction.
Second Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd at 14332, para. 111. Participation in the Reimbursement Program is voluntary but compliance with the new information collection requirements is required to obtain Reimbursement Program support.
The Secure Networks Act requires all providers of advanced communications service to annually report, with exception, on whether they have purchased, rented, leased or otherwise obtained covered communications

equipment or service on or after certain dates. 47 U.S.C. 1603d2B. The Second Report and Order adopted a new information collection requirement to implement this statutory mandate.
See Secure Networks Act 5. If the provider certifies it does not have any covered equipment and services, then the provider is not required to subsequently file an annual report, unless it later obtains covered equipment and services. Second Report and Order at para. 215.
This submission is for new information collection requirements contained in the Second Report and Order adopted by the Commission on December 10, 2020. The new requirements are necessary for the creation of a $1.9 billion reimbursement program, as directed by Congress in the Secure Networks Act, as amended. This submission also covers a related information collection requirement necessitated by the Secure Networks Act and/or the Second Report and Order and proposes to eliminate a previously approved information collection requirement that is no longer necessary.
