          Subject: Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Infonmation
                  Administration: State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report
          on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Commerce, National
          Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), entitled State
          Broadband Data and Development Grant Program (RIN: 0660-ZA29). We received
          the rule on July 8, 2009. It was published in the Federal Register as a notice of
          funds availability (Notice) and solicitation of applications on July 8, 2009. 74 Fed.
          Reg. 32,545.

          The notice announces the availability of funds pursuant to the American Recovery
          and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Broadband Data Improvement Act, and
          provides guidelines for the State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program.
          The State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program is a competitive, merit-
          based matching grant program that funds projects that collect comprehensive and
          accurate state-level broadband mapping data, develops state-level broadband maps,
          aids in the development and maintenance of a national broadband map, and funds
          statewide initiatives directed at broadband planning.

          Enclosed is our assessment of NTIA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
