§ 54.413 Link Up for Tribal lands.
(a) Definition. For purposes of this subpart, the term “Tribal Link Up”
means an assistance program for eligible residents of Tribal lands seeking
telecommunications service from a telecommunications carrier that is
receiving high-cost support on Tribal lands, pursuant to subpart D of this
part, that provides:
(1) A 100 percent reduction, up to $100, of the customary charge for
commencing telecommunications service for a single telecommunications
connection at a subscriber's principal place of residence imposed by an
eligible telecommunications carrier that is also receiving high-cost support
on Tribal lands, pursuant to subpart D of this part. For purposes of this
subpart, a “customary charge for commencing telecommunications service” is
the ordinary charge an eligible telecommunications carrier imposes and
collects from all subscribers to initiate service with that eligible
telecommunications carrier. A charge imposed only on qualifying low-income
consumers to initiate service is not a customary charge for commencing
telecommunications service. Activation charges routinely waived, reduced, or
eliminated with the purchase of additional products, services, or minutes
are not customary charges eligible for universal service support; and
(2) A deferred schedule of payments of the customary charge for commencing
telecommunications service for a single telecommunications connection at a
subscriber's principal place of residence imposed by an eligible
telecommunications carrier that is also receiving high-cost support on
Tribal lands, pursuant to subpart D of this part, for which the eligible
resident of Tribal lands does not pay interest. The interest charges not
assessed to the eligible resident of tribal lands shall be for a customary
charge for connecting telecommunications service of up to $200 and such
interest charges shall be deferred for a period not to exceed one year.
(b) An eligible resident of Tribal lands may receive the benefit of the
Tribal Link Up program for a second or subsequent time only for otherwise
qualifying commencement of telecommunications service at a principal place
of residence with an address different from the address for which Tribal
Link Up assistance was provided previously.
