Sec.  54.708   De minimis exemption.

   If a contributor's contribution to universal service in any given year is
   less than $10,000 that contributor will not be required to submit a
   contribution or Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet for that year unless
   it is required to do so to by our rules governing Telecommunications Relay
   Service (47 CFR 64.601 et seq. of this chapter), numbering administration
   (47 CFR 52.1 et seq. of this chapter), or shared costs of local number
   portability (47 CFR 52.21 et seq. of this chapter). If a contributor
   improperly claims exemption from the contribution requirement, it will
   subject to the criminal provisions of sections 220(d) and (e) of the Act
   regarding willful false submissions and will be required to pay the amounts
   withheld plus interest.
