10 Federal Broadband Initiatives FCC The FCC is currently working in coordination with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to perform the FCC s role under the Recovery Act. Specifically, in conjunction with the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program established by the Act, the FCC has been tasked with creating a National Broadband Plan by February 17, The Recovery Act states that the National Broadband Plan shall seek to ensure all people of the United States have access to broadband capability and shall establish benchmarks for meeting that goal. NTIA SUMMARY: RUS and NTIA announce general policy and application procedures for broadband initiatives established pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). RUS is establishing the Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) which may extend loans, grants, and loan/grant combinations to facilitate broadband deployment in rural areas. NTIA is establishing the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) which makes available grants for deploying broadband infrastructure in unserved and underserved areas in the United States, enhancing broadband capacity at public computer centers, and promoting sustainable broadband adoption projects.

11 Federal Mapping Initiatives FCC The FCC is currently working in coordination with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to perform the FCC s role under the Recovery Act. Specifically, in conjunction with the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program established by the Act, the FCC has been tasked with creating a National Broadband Plan by February 17, The Recovery Act states that the National Broadband Plan shall seek to ensure all people of the United States have access to broadband capability and shall establish benchmarks for meeting that goal. NTIA The State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program is a competitive, merit-based matching grant program that implements the joint purposes of the ARRA and the Broadband Data Improvement Act (BDIA). The program will provide grants to assist states or their designees to gather state-specific data on the availability, speed, and location of broadband services. The data collected and compiled, including publicly available state-wide broadband maps, will also be used to inform the comprehensive, interactive national broadband map that NTIA is required by the Recovery Act to create and make publicly available by February 17, The map will publicly display the geographic areas where broadband service is available; the technology used to provide the service; the speeds of the service; and broadband service availability at public schools, libraries, hospitals, colleges, universities, and public buildings. The national map will also be searchable by address and show the broadband providers offering service in the corresponding census block or street Page 11 segment.

17 Latest News - Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee (October 27) Larry Strickling (NTIA Administrator) We want and need to provide full and fair consideration to our pool of applicants. Given the large number of complex applications and the very voluminous amount of information that we need to review, we have decided to expand our review period and we are now targeting our first round grant awards for mid-december about a month later than planned We will not conclude the first round of fundng at the end of this year as we had originally hoped, but we do expect to do so in February of next year. Jonathan Adelstein (RUS Administrator) We have heard a lot of concerns about the definition of remote and we re going to completely revisit that in the next NOFA. As I indicated, we are going to put out comment requests very shortly and one of the big questions we see is how do you deal with this? Page 17
