The FCC scheduled the reverse auction that will award up to $50 million in one-time Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support for Dec. 19. Auction 902 was previously slated for Oct. 24. “In order to provide interested parties ample time to analyze the updated lists of eligible census blocks released concurrently with this Public Notice and to take any further steps required to establish eligibility for participation in Auction 902, we delay the auction date,” said a Wednesday public notice from the Wireline and Wireless bureaus (http://bit.ly/18dQe09). The order also lays out rules for the auction, which is to be a single-round, sealed bid auction, with bidding “on predefined bidding areas consisting of eligible census blocks aggregated by Tribal lands and census tracts, and in some cases consisting of individual census blocks in Alaska,” the notice said. “Auction 902 will award one-time support to carriers that commit to provide 3G or better mobile voice and broadband services to Tribal lands that lack such services,” the notice said. “Support will be allocated to maximize the population covered by new mobile services without exceeding the budget of $50 million. Winning bidders will be obligated to choose whether to deploy 3G service within two years or 4G service within three years after the award of support."

Improvements can be made to CBP’s infrastructure and staff needs, as well as to the transparency of its staff allocation processes, a report on commercial vehicle wait times by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) said. For the report, released July 24, GAO was asked to examine the reliability of CBP wait time data, visit six U.S.-Mexico land border crossings and analyze CBP documentation. The GAO analysis was intended to help CBP officials implement the agency’s existing mechanisms to improve the data’s overall usefulness and reduce the current burden of manually collecting data, GAO said.
