§ 54.715 Administrative expenses of the Administrator.
(a) The annual administrative expenses of the Administrator should be
commensurate with the administrative expenses of programs of similar
size, with the exception of the salary levels for officers and
employees of the Administrator described in paragraph (b) of this
section. The annual administrative expenses may include, but are not
limited to, salaries of officers and operations personnel, the costs of
borrowing funds, equipment costs, operating expenses, directors'
expenses, and costs associated with auditing contributors of support
recipients.
(b) All officers and employees of the Administrator may be compensated
at an annual rate of pay, including any non-regular payments, bonuses,
or other compensation, in an amount not to exceed the rate of basic pay
in effect for Level I of the Executive Schedule under 5 U.S.C. 5312.
Note to paragraph ( b ): The compensation to be included when
calculating whether an employee's rate of pay exceeds Level I of the
Executive Schedule does not include life insurance benefits, retirement
benefits (including payments to 401(k) plans), health insurance
benefits, or other similar benefits, provided that any such benefits
are reasonably comparable to benefits that are provided to employees of
the federal government.
(c) The Administrator shall submit to the Commission projected
quarterly budgets at least sixty (60) days prior to the start of every
quarter. The Commission must approve the projected quarterly budgets
before the Administrator disburses funds under the federal universal
service support mechanisms. The administrative expenses incurred by the
Administrator in connection with the schools and libraries support
mechanism, the rural health care support mechanism, the high-cost
support mechanism, and the low income support mechanism shall be
deducted from the annual funding of each respective support mechanism.
The expenses deducted from the annual funding for each support
mechanism also shall include the Administrator's joint and common costs
allocated to each support mechanism pursuant to the cost allocation
manual filed by the Administrator under § 64.903 of this chapter.
