§ 52.17 Costs of number administration.
All telecommunications carriers in the United States shall contribute on a
competitively neutral basis to meet the costs of establishing numbering
administration.
(a) Contributions to support numbering administration shall be the product
of the contributors' end-user telecommunications revenues for the prior
calendar year and a contribution factor determined annually by the Chief of
the Common Carrier Bureau; such contributions to be no less than twenty-five
dollars ($25). The contribution factor shall be based on the ratio of
expected number administration expenses to end-user telecommunications
revenues. Carriers that have no end-user telecommunications revenues shall
contribute twenty-five dollars ($25). In the event that contributions exceed
or are inadequate to cover administrative costs, the contribution factor for
the following year shall be adjusted by an appropriate amount.
(b) All telecommunications carriers in the United States shall complete and
submit a “Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet” (as published by the
Commission in the Federal Register), which sets forth the information needed
to calculate contributions referred to in paragraph (a) of this section. The
worksheet shall be certified to by an officer of the contributor, and
subject to verification by the Commission or the B & C Agent at the
discretion of the Commission. The Chief of the Common Carrier Bureau may
waive, reduce, modify, or eliminate contributor reporting requirements that
prove unnecessary and require additional reporting requirements that the
Bureau deems necessary to the sound and efficient administration of the
number administration cost recovery.
(c) For the purposes of this section, the term “telecommunications
carrier” or “carrier” shall include interconnected VoIP providers as that
term is defined in § 52.21(h).
