Abstract: In the Updating Part 1 Report and Order, FCC 15-80, the Commission updated many of its Part 1 competitive bidding rules. Among other things, the Commission amended its definition of “designated entities” to include “eligible rural service providers,” and established a new designated entity benefit/bidding credit for eligible rural service providers. This revision updates the currently approved collection requirements under OMB Control No. 3060-0767 to include “eligible rural service providers” as a new pool of potential respondents from which the information collected under this collection can be obtained.
