upon to develop the disaggregation

zones, and a discussion of how the plan

complies with the requirements of this

paragraph. Such filing must provide

information sufficient for interested

parties to make a meaningful analysis of

how the carrier derived its

disaggregation plan.

(ii) The plan must be reasonably

related to the cost of providing service

for each disaggregation zone within

each disaggregated category of support.

(iii) The plan must clearly specify the

per-line level of support for each

category of high-cost universal service

support provided pursuant to §§ 54.301,

54.303, and/or 54.305 and/or part 36,

subpart F of this chapter in each

disaggregation zone.

(iv) If the plan uses a benchmark, the

carrier must provide detailed

information explaining what the

benchmark is and how it was

determined. The benchmark must be

generally consistent with how the total

study area level of support for each

category of costs is derived to enable a

competitive eligible

telecommunications carrier to compare

the disaggregated costs used to

determine support for each cost zone.

(3) A carrier’s election of this path

becomes effective upon certification by

the carrier to the state commission.

(4) A carrier shall disaggregate and

target support under this path for at

least four years from the date of

certification to the state commission

except as provided in paragraph (d)(5)

of this section.

(5) A state commission may require,

on its own motion, upon petition by an

interested party, or upon petition by the

rural incumbent local exchange carrier,

modification to the disaggregation and

targeting of support selected under this

path.

(6) A carrier not subject to the

jurisdiction of a state, e.g., certain

tribally owned carriers, may select Path

3, but must certify to the Federal

Communications Commission as

described in paragraphs (d)(1) through

(5) of this section.

(e) Additional Procedures Governing

the Operation of Path 2 and Path 3:

Disaggregation and targeting plan

adopted under paragraphs (c) or (d) of

this section shall be subject to the

following general requirements:

(1) Support available to the rural

incumbent local exchange carrier’s

study area under its disaggregation plan

shall equal the total support available to

the study area without disaggregation.

(2) The ratio of per-line support

between disaggregation zones for each

disaggregated category of support shall

remain fixed over time, except as

changes are allowed pursuant to

paragraph (c) and (d) of this section.

(3) The ratio of per-line support shall

be publicly available.

(4) Per-line support amounts for each

disaggregation zone shall be

recalculated whenever the rural

incumbent local exchange carrier’s total

annual support amount changes using

the changed support amount and lines

at that point in time.

(5) Per-line support for each category

of support in each disaggregation zone

shall be determined such that the ratio

of support between disaggregation zones

is maintained and that the product of all

of the rural incumbent local exchange

carrier’s lines for each disaggregation

zone multiplied by the per-line support

for those zones when added together

equals the sum of the rural incumbent

local exchange carrier’s total support.

(6) Until a competitive eligible

telecommunications carrier is certified

in a study area, monthly payments to

the rural incumbent local exchange

carrier will be made based on total

annual amounts for its study area

divided by 12.

(7) When a competitive eligible

telecommunications carrier is certified

in a study area, per-line amounts used

to determine the competitive eligible

telecommunications carrier’s

disaggregated support shall be based on

the rural incumbent local exchange

carrier’s then-current total support

levels, lines, and disaggregated support

relationships.

(f) Submission of Information to the

Administrator:

(1) A rural incumbent local exchange

carrier certifying under paragraph (b) of

this section that it will not disaggregate

and target high-cost universal service

support shall submit to the

Administrator a copy of the certification

submitted to the state commission, or

the Federal Communications

Commission, when not subject to state

jurisdiction.

(2) A rural incumbent local exchange

carrier electing to disaggregate and

target support under paragraph (c) of

this section shall submit to the

Administrator a copy of the order

approving the disaggregation and

targeting plan submitted by the carrier

to the state commission, or the Federal

Communications Commission, when

not subject to state jurisdiction, and a

copy of the disaggregation and targeting

plan approved by the state commission

or the Federal Communications

Commission.

(3) A rural incumbent local exchange

carrier electing to disaggregate and

target support under paragraph (d) of

this section shall submit to the

Administrator a copy of the selfcertification plan including the

information submitted to the state

commission pursuant to (d)(2)(i) and

(d)(2)(iv) of this section or the Federal

Communications Commission.

(4) A rural incumbent local exchange

carrier electing to disaggregate and

target support under paragraph (c) or (d)

of this section must submit to the

Administrator maps which precisely

identify the boundaries of the

designated disaggregation zones of

support within the carrier’s study area.
