§ 54.416 Annual certifications by eligible telecommunications carriers.
(a) Eligible telecommunications carrier certifications. Eligible
telecommunications carriers are required to make and submit to the
Administrator the following annual certifications, under penalty of perjury,
relating to the Lifeline program:
(1) An officer of each eligible telecommunications carrier must certify that
the carrier has policies and procedures in place to ensure that its Lifeline
subscribers are eligible to receive Lifeline services. Each eligible
telecommunications carrier must make this certification annually to the
Administrator as part of the carrier's submission of annual re-certification
data pursuant to this section. In instances where an eligible
telecommunications carrier confirms consumer eligibility by relying on
income or eligibility databases, as defined in § 54.410(b)(1)(i)(A) or
(c)(1)(i)(A), the representative must attest annually as to what specific
data sources the eligible telecommunications carrier used to confirm
eligibility.
(2) An officer of the eligible telecommunications carrier must certify that
the carrier is in compliance with all federal Lifeline certification
procedures. Eligible telecommunications carriers must make this
certification annually to the Administrator as part of the carrier's
submission of re-certification data pursuant to this section.
(b) All eligible telecommunications carriers must annually provide the
results of their re-certification efforts, performed pursuant to § 54.410(f),
to the Commission and the Administrator. Eligible telecommunications
carriers designated as such by one or more states pursuant to § 54.201 must
also provide, on an annual basis, the results of their re-certification
efforts to state commissions for subscribers residing in those states where
the state designated the eligible telecommunications carrier. Eligible
telecommunications carriers must also provide their annual re-certification
results for subscribers residing on Tribal lands to the relevant Tribal
governments.
(c) States that mandate Lifeline support may impose additional standards on
eligible telecommunications carriers operating in their states to ensure
compliance with state Lifeline programs.
