§  54.1008   Mobility Fund Phase I disbursements.

   (a) A winning bidder for Mobility Fund Phase I support will be advised
   by public notice whether it has been authorized to receive support. The
   public notice will detail how disbursement will be made available.

   (b) Mobility Fund Phase I support will be available for disbursement to
   authorized winning bidders in three stages.

   (1) One-third of the total possible support, if coverage were to be
   extended to 100 percent of the units deemed unserved in the geographic
   area, when the winning bidder is authorized to receive support.

   (2) One-third of the total possible support with respect to a specific
   geographic area when the recipient demonstrates coverage of 50 percent
   of the coverage requirements of §  54.1006(a) or (b), as applicable.

   (3) The remainder of the total support, based on the final total units
   covered, when the recipient demonstrates coverage meeting the
   requirements of §  54.1006(a) or (b), as applicable.

   (c) A recipient accepting a final disbursement for a specific
   geographic area based on coverage of less than 100 percent of the units
   in the area previously deemed unserved waives any claim for the
   remainder of potential Mobility Fund Phase I support with respect to
   that area.

   (d) Prior to each disbursement request, a winning bidder for support in
   a Tribal land will be required to certify that it has substantively
   engaged appropriate Tribal officials regarding the issues specified in
   §  54.1004(d)(1), at a minimum, as well as any other issues specified by
   the Commission and to provide a summary of the results of such
   engagement.

   (e) Prior to each disbursement request, a winning bidder will be
   required to certify that it is in compliance with all requirements for
   receipt of Mobility Fund Phase I support at the time that it requests
   the disbursement.
