§ 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) Beginning July 31, 2002, each rate-of-return carrier shall submit
to the Administrator in accordance with the schedule in § 54.1306 the
number of lines it serves, within each rate-of-return carrier study
area 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 § 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 § 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.
(2) A rate-of-return carrier may submit the information in paragraph
(a) of this section in accordance with the schedule in § 54.1306, 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 § 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 § 54.702(i).
Fund distribution reporting will be by state and by eligible
telecommunications carrier within the state.
