(a) Audits. The Office of Economics and Analytics, in coordination with the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Wireline Competition Bureau, and Space Bureau, shall conduct regular audits of the information submitted by providers in their Broadband Data Collection filings. The audits: (1) May be random, as determined by the Office of Economics and Analytics; or (2) Can be required in cases where there may be patterns of filing incorrect information, as determined by the Office of Economics and Analytics. (b) Crowdsourcing process. Entities or individuals may submit in the Commission's online portal specific information regarding the deployment and availability of broadband internet access service so that it may be used to verify and supplement information submitted by providers for potential inclusion in the coverage maps. (1) Crowdsourced data filers shall provide: (i) Contact information of the filer ( e.g., name, address, phone number, and email); (ii) The location that is the subject of the filing, including the street address and/or coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the location; (iii) The name of the provider; (iv) Any relevant details disputing the deployment and availability of broadband internet access service at the location; and (v) A certification that to the best of the filer's actual knowledge, information, and belief, all statements in the filing are true and correct. (2) On-the-ground crowdsourced data must include the metrics and meet the testing parameters described in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section, except that the data may include any combination of download speed and upload speed rather than both. (3) The online portal shall notify a provider of a crowdsourced data filing against it, but a provider is not required to respond to a crowdsourced data filing
