The new mechanism for non-rural carriers directs support to carriers based on the forward-looking economic cost of operating a given exchange. See 47 C.F.R. § 54.309. The Commission's forward-looking methodology for calculating high-cost support for non-rural carriers targets support to states where the statewide average forward-looking cost per line exceeds 135 percent of the national average forward-looking cost. See id. The total amount of support directed to non-rural carriers in a high-cost state equals 76 percent of the amount the statewide average forward-looking cost per line

The Commission established this schedule to allow USAC sufficient time to process section 254(e) certifications and calculate estimated high-cost demand amounts for submission to the Commission. High-cost universal service support for non-rural ETCs is based on forward-looking economic costs as calculated by the Commission's cost model pursuant to section 54.309 of the Commission's rules. The non-rural support mechanism determines the amount of support to be provided to non-rural carriers by comparing statewide average forward-looking cost per line to a nationwide cost benchmark. In 2003, non-rural carriers in only eight states were eligible for non-rural high-cost support. On October 23, 2003, the Commission released an Order on Remand that adopted a

Under the current non-rural support mechanism, the forward-looking costs of each non-rural carrier within a state are first determined by the model. The total costs of all non-rural carriers are then added together and divided by the total number of lines served by non-rural carriers within that state. See, 47 C.F.R. §54.309(a). If the statewide average costs are below the cost benchmark for non-rural carriers, then no non-rural carriers in that state receive high-cost model support. This is true even if individual carriers have per line costs above the cost benchmark.
