§ 54.801 General.
(a) The total amount of universal service support under this subpart,
excluding administrative expenses, for areas served by price cap local
exchange carriers as of June 30, 2000, is targeted to be $650 million
per year, if no exchanges, other than those offered for sale prior to
January 1, 2000, are sold to non-price-cap local exchange carriers or
purchased from non-price cap local exchange carriers by price cap local
exchange carriers.
(b) In the event that all or a portion of a study area served by a
price cap local exchange carrier is sold to an entity other than a
price cap local exchange carrier, and the study area or portion thereof
was not offered for sale prior to January 1, 2000, then the support
that would otherwise be provided under this subpart, had such study
area or portion thereof not been sold, will not be distributed or
collected. Subsequent calculations will use the last reported data for
the study area or portion thereof that was sold to determine the amount
that will not be distributed or collected.
(c) In the event that a price cap local exchange carrier acquires
additional exchanges, from an entity other than a price cap local
exchange carrier, that acquisition should be reported to the
Administrator pursuant to § 54.802 and included in the determination
of study area support pursuant to § 54.806 for the areas served by the
acquiring price cap LEC, beginning with the next support recalculation
pursuant to § 54.808.
(d) In the event that a price cap local exchange carrier acquires
additional exchanges from an entity that is also a price cap local
exchange carrier, the acquiring price cap local exchange carrier will
receive support under this subpart at the same level as the selling
price cap local exchange carrier formerly received, and both carriers
will adjust their line counts accordingly beginning with the next
quarterly report to the Administrator. At the subsequent report to the
Administrator for purposes of recalculating support as required by
§ 54.808, the acquiring and selling price cap local exchange carriers
will reflect the acquired and sold lines, and will adjust the Average
CMT Revenue per Line month for the affected study areas accordingly.
(e) The Administrator for the fund created by this subpart shall be the
Universal Service Administrative Company.
(f) Beginning January 1, 2012, no incumbent or competitive eligible
telecommunications carrier shall receive support pursuant to this
subpart, nor shall any incumbent or competitive eligible
telecommunications carrier be required to complete any filings pursuant
to this subpart after March 31, 2012.
