§  54.1020   Milestone reports.

   (a) A winning bidder authorized to receive Mobility Fund Phase II
   support shall submit the reports required in § 54.1015(a) through (d) as
   well as certifications that it has met the construction requirements in
   § 54.1015(a) through (d).

   (b) The party submitting the report must certify that it has been
   authorized to do so by the winning bidder.

   (c) Each report shall be submitted to the Office of the Secretary of
   the Commission, clearly referencing the appropriate docket for Mobility
   Fund Phase II reporting; the Administrator; and the relevant state
   commissions, relevant authority in a U.S. Territory, or Tribal
   governments, as appropriate, until such time that the Administrator
   announces that such reports shall be filed solely via the
   Administrator's online portal.

   (d) Winning bidders have a continuing obligation to maintain the
   accuracy and completeness of the information provided in their
   long-form applications and their milestone reports. All winning bidders
   shall provide information about any substantial change that may be of
   decisional significance regarding their eligibility for Mobility Fund
   Phase II support and compliance with Mobility Fund Phase II
   requirements as an update to their milestone report submitted to the
   entities listed in paragraph (c) of this section. Such notification of
   a substantial change, including any reduction in the percentage of
   eligible square miles being served or any failure to comply with any of
   the Mobility Fund Phase II requirements, shall be submitted within ten
   (10) business days after the reportable event occurs.

   (e) In order for a recipient of Mobility Fund Phase II support to
   continue to receive support for the following calendar year, it must
   submit the milestone reports required by this section by the deadlines
   set forth in § 54.1015(a) through (d). Mobile eligible
   telecommunications carriers that file their reports after the relevant
   deadlines shall receive a reduction in support pursuant to the
   following schedule:

   (1) A mobile eligible telecommunications carrier that files after the
   deadline, but within seven days of the deadline, will have its support
   reduced in an amount equivalent to seven (7) days of support;

   (2) A mobile eligible telecommunications carrier that files on or after
   the eighth day following the deadline will have its support reduced on
   a pro-rata daily basis equivalent to the period of non-compliance, plus
   the minimum seven-day reduction.

   (f) A mobile eligible telecommunications carrier that submits the
   milestone reporting information required by this section within three
   (3) days of the deadline will not receive a reduction in support if the
   mobile eligible telecommunications carrier has not missed the deadline
   in any prior year.
