| 2021-27345 | Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records | Notice | The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission or Agency) is modifying a system of records, FCC/WCB-3, Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This action is necessary to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal Register notice of the existence and character of records maintained by the agency. The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program ("Emergency Broadband") provides discounts for broadband internet access service ("BIAS") to qualifying households. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, signed into law on November 15, 2021, the Emergency Broadband program will become the Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP") on December 31, 2021. A household may qualify for ACP if an individual in the household has applied for and has been approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced price lunch program, receives assistance through the special supplemental nutritional program for women, infants, and children established by section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1996 ("WIC"), receives a Pell Grant, qualifies for the Lifeline program, meets certain income requirements, or qualifies for a low-income program offered by internet service providers. The ACP will be administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) under the direction of the Commission and, by delegation, of the Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB). This system of records contains information about individual ACP participants, providers' claims and certifying officers, and providers' enrollment representatives. | 2021-12-16 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/16/2021-27345/privacy-act-of-1974-system-of-records | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-16/pdf/2021-27345.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission or Agency) is modifying a system of records, FCC/WCB-3, Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.
