Abstract: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), Pub. L. No. 111-5 (2009), requires the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Information and Communications to develop and maintain a comprehensive, interactive, and searchable nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability in the United States that depicts the geographic extent to which broadband service capability is deployed and available from a commercial or public provider throughout each state.

Emergency Justfication: NTIA issued the Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) and Solicitation of Applications for the State Broadband Data and Development (SBDD) Grant Program setting forth the requirements for this competitive grant program. The NOFA requires regular reports (quarterly) to include specific information, and NTIA developed a list of specific sub-questions that will better allow the SBDD Grant Program to evaluate the information submitted. The first reports are due by mid-February, 2010.
