Request for Non-substantive Change: Addition of FCC Identifiers
May 23, 2023
The US Department of the Treasury is submitting a request for non-substantive change to OMB Control Number 1505-0277 to make two additions to the Capital Projects Fund (CPF) reporting requirements. The new fields request that award recipients provide Federal Communications Commission (FCC) identifiers in order to uniquely identify the precise location of projects receiving funding. The changes adding these two fields are identical for States and Tribal recipients. We expect our recipients to have these FCC identifiers on-hand already, and so there is no change in the estimated burden.
Provider ID. The Provider ID is the identifier that the FCC assigns to every Internet service Provider (ISP). Any entity responsible for a broadband implementation project already has this number, and Treasury is collecting those numbers to comply with FCC requirements.
Fabric ID. The Broadband DATA Act required the FCC to make a national map of broadband service at the location level. FCC licensees have access to the so-called “fabric”, a database of all serviceable locations. The Fabric ID is assigned to every “broadband serviceable location” in the fabric. For example, an apartment building which is broadband serviceable will have a unique Fabric ID assigned by the FCC. CPF recipients who are completing broadband projects are required to provide the Fabric IDs for the locations that they are serving.
