§ 54.903 Obligations of rate-of-return carriers and the Administrator.
(a) To be eligible for Interstate Common Line Support, each rate-of-return
carrier shall make the following filings with the Administrator.
(1) Beginning July 31, 2002, each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the
Administrator in accordance with the schedule in § 54.1306 the number of
lines it serves, within each rate-of-return carrier study area showing
residential and single-line business line counts and multi-line business
line counts separately. For purposes of this report, and for purposes of
computing support under this subpart, the residential and single-line
business class lines reported include lines assessed the residential and
single-line business End User Common Line charge pursuant to § 69.104 of this
chapter, and the multi-line business class lines reported include lines
assessed the multi-line business End User Common Line charge pursuant to
§ 69.104 of this chapter. For purposes of this report, and for purposes of
computing support under this subpart, lines served using resale of the
rate-of-return local exchange carrier's service pursuant to section
251(c)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, shall be considered
lines served by the rate-of-return carrier only and must be reported
accordingly.
(2) A rate-of-return carrier may submit the information in paragraph (a) of
this section in accordance with the schedule in § 54.1306, even if it is not
required to do so. If a rate-of-return carrier makes a filing under this
paragraph, it shall separately indicate any lines that it has acquired from
another carrier that it has not previously reported pursuant to paragraph
(a) of this section, identified by customer class and the carrier from which
the lines were acquired.
(3) Each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the Administrator annually
on March 31st projected data necessary to calculate the carrier's
prospective Interstate Common Line Support, including common line cost and
revenue data, for each of its study areas in the upcoming funding year. The
funding year shall be July 1st of the current year through June 30th of the
next year. Each rate-of-return carrier will be permitted to submit a
correction to the projected data filed on March 31st until June 30th for the
upcoming funding year. On June 30th each rate-of-return carrier will be
permitted to submit to the Administrator an update to the projected data for
the funding year ending on that date.
(4) Each rate-of-return carrier shall submit to the Administrator on
December 31st of each year the data necessary to calculate a carrier's
Interstate Common Line Support, including common line cost and revenue data,
for the prior calendar year. Such data shall be used by the Administrator to
make adjustments to monthly per-line Interstate Common Line Support amounts
in the final two quarters of the following calendar year to the extent of
any differences between the carrier's ICLS received based on projected
common line cost and revenue data and the ICLS for which the carrier is
ultimately eligible based on its actual common line cost and revenue data
during the relevant period.
(b) Upon receiving the information required to be filed in paragraph (a) of
this section, the Administrator shall:
(1) Perform the calculations described in § 54.901;
(2) Publish the results of these calculations showing Interstate Common Line
Support Per Line available in each rate-of-return carrier study area, by
Disaggregation Zone and customer class;
(3) Perform periodic reconciliation of the Interstate Common Line Support
provided to each carrier based on projected data filed pursuant to paragraph
(a)(3) of this section and the Interstate Common Line Support for which each
carrier is eligible based on actual data filed pursuant to paragraph (a)(4)
of this section.
(4) Collect the funds necessary to provide support pursuant to this subpart
in accordance with subpart H of this part;
(5) Distribute support calculated pursuant to the rules contained in this
subpart; and
(6) Report quarterly to the Commission on the collection and distribution of
funds under this subpart as described in § 54.702(i). Fund distribution
reporting will be by state and by eligible telecommunications carrier within
the state.
