  • Seeks Comment on Certain of the Commission's Rules Relating to High-Cost Universal Service Support and the ETC Designation Process, CC Docket No. 96-45, Public Notice, 18 FCC Rcd 1941 (2003). Non-rural high-cost support is generally targeted to high-cost wire centers, and IAS is targeted to state-created unbundled network element (UNE) zones, where such zones exist. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 54.309, 54.803. The Commission's rules also permit disaggregation and targeting of high-cost loop support, LSS, and ICLS to geographic areas below the study-area level. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 54.307(a)(1); 54.315. See Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, Forward-Looking Mechanism for High Cost Support for Non-Rural LECs, CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 97-160, Fifth Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 21, 323, 21,335 (1998)
