As part of the Schools and Libraries Sixth Report and Order, the Commission launched a pilot program - EDU 2011 Pilot Program - that supports off-campus wireless Internet connectivity for mobile learning devices. The Commission established this trial program to investigate the merits and challenges of wireless off-premises connectivity services, and to help the Commission determine whether and how they should ultimately be eligible for E-rate support. This is consistent with the vision outlined in the National Broadband Plan (NBP).
The information requested may be used to offer E-rate support for the upcoming funding year (which starts July 1, 2011 and ends June 30, 2012) under this pilot program to fund wireless connections to a small number of selected applicants. Therefore, the information and applications will need to be submitted to the FCC by the end of December 2010 in order for the agency to evaluate the information and make decisions on who will receive funding before the next funding year (which begins on July 1, 2011). The process of submission and selection will need to be completed within six months and so we cannot wait 120 days or more to notify the public and potential applicants of our intent to collect the information. Therefore, we are respectfully requesting OMB approval by October 20, 2011.

This is a new collection which resulted from the Sixth Report and Order, FCC 10-175. The estimates for this new collection are hard to determine at this stage as we have never implemented this pilot program before and for PRA purposes are the best estimates we have at this time.
