§ 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.
