Abstract
The Federal Communications Commission is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 20, 2022. The document modified partitioning, disaggregation, and leasing rules to provide specific incentives for small carriers and Tribal Nations, and entities in rural areas, to voluntarily participate in the Enhanced Competition Incentive Program (ECIP). The ECIP proceeding is in response to Congressional direction in the Making Opportunities for Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to Wireless Act (MOBILE NOW Act) to consider steps to increase the diversity of spectrum access and the availability of advanced telecommunications services in rural areas. The ECIP will promote greater competition in the provision of wireless services, facilitate increased availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas, facilitate new opportunities for small carriers and Tribal Nations to increase access to spectrum, and bring more advanced wireless service including 5G to underserved communities.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission is correcting a final
rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 20, 2022. The
document modified partitioning, disaggregation, and leasing rules to
provide specific incentives for small carriers and Tribal Nations, and
entities in rural areas, to voluntarily participate in the Enhanced
Competition Incentive Program (ECIP). The ECIP proceeding is in
response to Congressional direction in the Making Opportunities for
Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless Obstacles to
Wireless Act (MOBILE NOW Act) to consider steps to increase the
diversity of spectrum access and the availability of advanced
telecommunications services in rural areas. The ECIP will promote
greater competition in the provision of wireless services, facilitate
increased availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas,
facilitate new opportunities for small carriers and Tribal Nations to
increase access to spectrum, and bring more advanced wireless service
including 5G to underserved communities.
DATES: This correction is effective February 15, 2024.
