Abstract:
This submission is being made for a proposed non-substantive change to an existing information collection pursuant to 44 U.S.C. § 3507. This submission seeks to clarify and make explicit that the requirements associated with this information collection apply to certain carriers. In this non-substantive change, we clarify that the existing requirements apply to recipients of Rural Digital Opportunity Fund support. The Commission requires carriers with high cost support to test their networks for compliance with the Commission's requirements for speed and latency. This collection addresses those requirements for testing speed and latency to ensure that carriers are meeting the public interest obligations associated with their receipt of high-cost universal service support.
