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
   theFederal 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 theFederal Registerand 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.
