§ 54.413 Link Up for Tribal lands.
(a) Definition. For purposes of this subpart, the term "Tribal Link Up"
means an assistance program for eligible residents of Tribal lands
seeking telecommunications service from a telecommunications carrier
that is receiving high-cost support on Tribal lands, pursuant to
subpart D of this part, that provides:
(1) A 100 percent reduction, up to $100, of the customary charge for
commencing telecommunications service for a single telecommunications
connection at a subscriber's principal place of residence imposed by an
eligible telecommunications carrier that is also receiving high-cost
support on Tribal lands, pursuant to subpart D of this part. For
purposes of this subpart, a "customary charge for commencing
telecommunications service" is the ordinary charge an eligible
telecommunications carrier imposes and collects from all subscribers to
initiate service with that eligible telecommunications carrier. A
charge imposed only on qualifying low-income consumers to initiate
service is not a customary charge for commencing telecommunications
service. Activation charges routinely waived, reduced, or eliminated
with the purchase of additional products, services, or minutes are not
customary charges eligible for universal service support; and
(2) A deferred schedule of payments of the customary charge for
commencing telecommunications service for a single telecommunications
connection at a subscriber's principal place of residence imposed by an
eligible telecommunications carrier that is also receiving high-cost
support on Tribal lands, pursuant to subpart D of this part, for which
the eligible resident of Tribal lands does not pay interest. The
interest charges not assessed to the eligible resident of tribal lands
shall be for a customary charge for connecting telecommunications
service of up to $200 and such interest charges shall be deferred for a
period not to exceed one year.
(b) An eligible resident of Tribal lands may receive the benefit of the
Tribal Link Up program for a second or subsequent time only for
otherwise qualifying commencement of telecommunications service at a
principal place of residence with an address different from the address
for which Tribal Link Up assistance was provided previously.
