Sec. 54.903 Obligations of rate-of-return carriers and the Administrator.
(a) To be eligible for Interstate Common Line Support, each rate-of-return
carrier shall make the following filings with the Administrator.
(1) On April 18, 2002, each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the
Administrator the number of lines it serves as of September 30, 2001, within
each rate-of-return carrier study area, by disaggregation zone if
disaggregation zones have been established within that study area pursuant
to Sec. 54.315, showing residential and single-line business line counts and
multi-line business line counts separately. For purposes of this report, and
for purposes of computing support under this subpart, the residential and
single-line business class lines reported include lines assessed the
residential and single-line business End User Common Line charge pursuant to
Sec. 69.104 of this chapter, and the multi-line business class lines reported
include lines assessed the multi-line business End User Common Line charge
pursuant to Sec. 69.104 of this chapter. For purposes of this report, and for
purposes of computing support under this subpart, lines served using resale
of the rate-of-return local exchange carrier's service pursuant to section
251(c)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, shall be considered
lines served by the rate-of-return carrier only and must be reported
accordingly. Beginning July 31, 2002, each rate-of-return carrier shall
submit the information described in this paragraph in accordance with the
schedule in Sec. 36.611 of this chapter.
(2) Each rate-of-return carrier in service areas where a competitive
eligible telecommunications carrier has initiated service and reported line
count data pursuant to Sec. 54.307(c) shall submit the information in paragraph
(a) of this section in accordance with the schedule in Sec. 36.612 of this
chapter. A rate-of-return carrier may submit the information in paragraph
(a) of this section in accordance with the schedule in Sec. 36.612 of this
chapter, even if it is not required to do so. If a rate-of-return carrier
makes a filing under this paragraph, it shall separately indicate any lines
that it has acquired from another carrier that it has not previously
reported pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, identified by customer
class and the carrier from which the lines were acquired.
(3) Each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the Administrator annually
on March 31st projected data necessary to calculate the carrier's
prospective Interstate Common Line Support, including common line cost and
revenue data, for each of its study areas in the upcoming funding year. The
funding year shall be July 1st of the current year through June 30th of the
next year. Each rate-of-return carrier will be permitted to submit a
correction to the projected data filed on March 31st until June 30th for the
upcoming funding year. On June 30th each rate-of-return carrier will be
permitted to submit to the Administrator an update to the projected data for
the funding year ending on that date.
(4) Each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the Administrator on
December 31st of each year the data necessary to calculate a carrier's
Interstate Common Line Support, including common line cost and revenue data,
for the prior calendar year. Such data shall be used by the Administrator to
make adjustments to monthly per-line Interstate Common Line Support amounts
in the final two quarters of the following calendar year to the extent of
any differences between the carrier's ICLS received based on projected
common line cost and revenue data and the ICLS for which the carrier is
ultimately eligible based on its actual common line cost and revenue data
during the relevant period.
(b) Upon receiving the information required to be filed in paragraph (a) of
this section, the Administrator shall:
(1) Perform the calculations described in Sec. 54.901;
(2) Publish the results of these calculations showing Interstate Common Line
Support Per Line available in each rate-of-return carrier study area, by
Disaggregation Zone and customer class;
(3) Perform periodic reconciliation of the Interstate Common Line Support
provided to each carrier based on projected data filed pursuant to paragraph
(a)(3) of this section and the Interstate Common Line Support for which each
carrier is eligible based on actual data filed pursuant to paragraph (a)(4)
of this section.
(4) Collect the funds necessary to provide support pursuant to this subpart
in accordance with subpart H of this part;
(5) Distribute support calculated pursuant to the rules contained in this
subpart; and
(6) Report quarterly to the Commission on the collection and distribution of
funds under this subpart as described in Sec. 54.702(i). Fund distribution
reporting will be by state and by eligible telecommunications carrier within
the state.
