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). The foregoing
   notwithstanding, all interconnected VoIP providers, including those whose
   contributions would be de minimis, must file the Telecommunications
   Reporting Worksheet. 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.
