§ 54.406 Activities of representatives of eligible telecommunications
carriers.
(a) Enrollment representative registration. An eligible
telecommunications carrier must require that enrollment representatives
register with the Universal Service Administrative Company before the
enrollment representative can provide information directly or
indirectly to the National Lifeline Accountability Database or the
National Verifier.
(1) As part of the registration process, eligible telecommunications
carriers must require that all enrollment representatives must provide
the Universal Service Administrative Company with identifying
information, which may include first and last name, date of birth, the
last four digits of his or her social security number, email address,
and residential address. Enrollment representatives will be assigned a
unique identifier, which must be used for:
(i) Accessing the National Lifeline Accountability Database;
(ii) Accessing the National Verifier;
(iii) Accessing any Lifeline eligibility database; and
(iv) Completing any Lifeline enrollment or recertification forms.
(2) Eligible telecommunications carriers must ensure that enrollment
representatives shall not use another person's unique identifier to
enroll Lifeline subscribers, recertify Lifeline subscribers, or access
the National Lifeline Accountability Database or National Verifier.
(3) Eligible telecommunications carriers must ensure that enrollment
representatives shall regularly recertify their status with the
Universal Service Administrative Company to maintain their unique
identifier and maintain access to the systems that rely on a valid
unique identifier. Eligible telecommunications carriers must also
ensure that enrollment representatives shall update their registration
information within 30 days of any change in such information.
(4) Enrollment representatives are not required to register with the
Universal Service Administrative Company if the enrollment
representative operates solely in a state that has been approved by the
Commission to administer the Lifeline program without reliance on the
Universal Service Administrative Company's systems. The exemption in
this paragraph (a)(4) will not apply to any part of a state's
administration of the Lifeline program that relies on the Universal
Service Administrative Company's systems.
(b) Prohibition of commissions for enrollment representatives. An
eligible telecommunications carrier shall not offer or provide to
enrollment representatives or their direct supervisors any commission
compensation that is based on the number of consumers who apply for or
are enrolled in the Lifeline program with that eligible
telecommunications carrier.
