SA 3477. Mr. WICKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by
him to the bill H.R. 6147, making appropriations for the Department of
the Interior, environment, and related agencies for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes; which was ordered to
lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place in title V of division B, insert
the following:
Sec. ___. (a) None of the funds made available under this
Act for the Mobility Fund Phase II auction may be used to
conduct such an auction until the Federal Communications
Commission completes a rulemaking that reassesses the data
collection procedures that were used to develop the initial
eligible areas map for Mobility Fund Phase II, including by
examining whether different factors should be used to create
a more accurate map that lessens the burden on persons
engaging in the challenge process.
(b) For purposes of this section--
(1) the term ``challenge process'' means the process
established by the Federal Communications Commission under
which a person may challenge the initial determination that
an area is ineligible for universal service support provided
under Mobility Fund Phase II; and
(2) the term ``Mobility Fund Phase II'' means the second
phase of the proceeding to provide universal service support
from the Mobility Fund (WC Docket No. 10-90; WT Docket No.
10-208).
