Sec.  54.711   Contributor reporting requirements.

   (a) Contributions shall be calculated and filed in accordance with the
   Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet which shall be published in the
   Federal Register. The Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet sets forth
   information that the contributor must submit to the Administrator on a
   quarterly and annual basis. The Commission shall announce by Public Notice
   published in the Federal Register and on its website the manner of payment
   and dates by which payments must be made. An executive officer of the
   contributor must certify to the truth and accuracy of historical data
   included in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet, and that any
   projections in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet represent a
   good-faith estimate based on the contributor's policies and procedures. The
   Commission or the Administrator may verify any information contained in the
   Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet. Contributors shall maintain records
   and documentation to justify information reported in the Telecommunications
   Reporting Worksheet, including the methodology used to determine
   projections, for three years and shall provide such records and
   documentation to the Commission or the Administrator upon request.
   Inaccurate or untruthful information contained in the Telecommunications
   Reporting Worksheet may lead to prosecution under the criminal provisions of
   Title 18 of the United States Code. The Administrator shall advise the
   Commission of any enforcement issues that arise and provide any suggested
   response.

   (b) The Commission shall have access to all data reported to the
   Administrator. Contributors may make requests for Commission nondisclosure
   of company-specific revenue information under  Sec. 0.459 of this chapter by so
   indicating on the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet at the time that
   the subject data are submitted. The Commission shall make all decisions
   regarding nondisclosure of company-specific information. The Administrator
   shall keep confidential all data obtained from contributors, shall not use
   such data except for purposes of administering the universal service support
   programs, and shall not disclose such data in company-specific form unless
   directed to do so by the Commission. Subject to any restrictions imposed by
   the Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau, the Universal Service
   Administrator may share data obtained from contributors with the
   administrators of the North American Numbering Plan administration cost
   recovery (See 47 CFR 52.16 of this chapter), the local number portability
   cost recovery (See 47 CFR 52.32 of this chapter), and the TRS Fund (See 47
   CFR 64.604(c)(4)(iii)(H) of this chapter). The Administrator shall keep
   confidential all data obtained from other administrators and shall not use
   such data except for purposes of administering the universal service support
   mechanisms.

   (c) The Bureau may waive, reduce, modify, or eliminate contributor reporting
   requirements that prove unnecessary and require additional reporting
   requirements that the Bureau deems necessary to the sound and efficient
   administration of the universal service support mechanisms.
