On August 4, 2016, the Commission adopted rules – 47 CFR §§ 64.6201-64.6219 – to establish the NDBEDP, also known as “iCanConnect,” as a permanent program. In the NDBEDP Permanent Program Order, the Commission noted that section 64.610(k) of the Commission’s rules provides for expiration of the NDBEDP pilot program rules at the termination of the pilot program. The Commission most recently extended the pilot program to June 30, 2017. The Commission clarified in the NDBEDP Permanent Program Order that the pilot program will not terminate until after all reports have been submitted, all payments and adjustments have been made, and all wind-down activities have been completed, and no issues with regard to the NDBEDP pilot program remain pending. As a result, OMB Control Number 3060-1146, which covers information collections related to NDBEDP pilot program activities, must be maintained beyond July 1, 2017. Rules for the permanent program that are subject to the PRA will become effective on the date specified in a notice published in the Federal Register announcing OMB approval. At that time, in accordance with the NDBEDP Permanent Program Order, the Bureau will announce by public notice the timing of the 60-day period for new and incumbent entities to apply for certification to participate in the permanent NDBEDP. Any entity certified under the pilot program that does not wish to participate in the permanent NDBEDP must also notify the Commission of such intent within the same 60-day period. The Commission directs the Bureau to minimize any possible disruption of service by providing as much advance notice as possible about its selection of the entities certified under the permanent NDBEDP. In any event, certifications to participate in the permanent NDBEDP will not become effective before July 1, 2017. Because the information collection burdens related to NDBEDP pilot program activities overlap in time with the information collection burdens related to NDBEDP permanent program activities, the Commission is seeking OMB approval for a new collection and requests a new OMB Control Number for the information burdens associated with the permanent NDBEDP.
