ERRATUM

Released:  July 20, 2018

By the Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau:

On July 5, 2018 the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) released an Order Denying Stay Petition (Order), DA 18-701, in the above-captioned proceeding.  This Erratum amends Appendix A of the Order as indicated below:
Paragraph 7, on page 2 of the “Declaration of Daniel J. Margolis,” is corrected to read as follows:
“7. On July 15, 2015, Geoffrey Blackwell, the then-Chief of ONAP, sent an email to Tribes across the country.  The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior, maintains email addresses for all Tribal leaders in the United States; Mr. Blackwell sent his email to all of the addresses on that list.  (Although Mr. Blackwell’s email was sent to all email addresses on the BIA list, it is unclear precisely how many Tribes received that communication as the agency received a number of undeliverable replies, suggesting some of the addresses on the list were inaccurate.).  In that email, Mr. Blackwell explained that he was following up from an email he sent in June 2015, in which he had informed them that the Commission had recently issued the Tribal Lifeline FNPRM, which set forth a number of questions involving Tribal Nations and Tribal Lands. Mr. Blackwell stated that while the Commission sought comment on a range of issues raised in the FNPRM, he wanted to “draw your attention” to the Tribal-specific sections of the document including “paragraphs 158-171,” which proposed to limit the enhanced Tribal subsidy to facilities-based carriers and to carriers serving rural, Tribal lands. The email included a link to the Tribal Lifeline FNPRM, as well as to Commission press releases and Commissioners’ statements about the FNPRM. The email also encouraged Tribal members to attend and actively participate in the consultations. A copy of Mr. Blackwell’s July 15 email is attached as Exhibit A to this Declaration.”
