Total Annual Cost: $48,900. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission does not request that

information to the Commission. If the 

respondents believe they have 

information that is confidential, they 

may request confidential treatment of 

their information under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) after this comment 

period to obtain the full, three–year 

clearance from them. There is no change 

in the Commission’s reporting and/or 

third party disclosure requirements. The 

Commission is reporting a 6,426 hourly 

increase adjustment and a $3,705 

increase in annual costs. 

Following the passage of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, the 

Commission adopted interstate access 

charge and universal service support 

reforms. The reforms were designed to 

establish a ‘‘pro–competitive, 

deregulatory national policy framework’’ 

for the United States 

telecommunications industry, and to 

carry out the universal service policies 

embodied in the1996 Act. 

Specifically, the Commission aligned 

the interstate access rate structure more 

closely with the manner in which costs 

are incurred, and created a universal 

service support mechanism for rate–of– 

return carriers (Interstate Common line 

Support (ICLS)) to replace implicit 

support in interstate access charges with 

explicit support that is portable to all 

eligible telecommunications carriers. 

By merging Long Term Support (LTS) 

with ICLS, the Commission made the 

universal service mechanisms simpler 

and more transparent, while ensuring 

that rate–of–return carriers maintain 

existing levels of universal service 

support. 

To administer the ICLS mechanism, 

the Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) must collect certain 

data. Specifically, the Administrator 

must collect from each rate–of–return 

carrier projected cost and revenue data 

for the July 1 – July 30 funding year to 

accurately distribute prospective ICLS 

to those carriers. 

The Administrator must also collect 

from each rate–of–return carrier actual 

cost and revenue data for the prior 

calendar year in order to accurately 

calculate the final ICLS for which the 

carrier is eligible and perform true–ups 

against the prospective ICLS. In order to 

fulfill its obligation to prevent waste, 

fraud, and abuse in the universal service 

program, the Administrator must also 

collect from selected carriers additional 

cost and revenue data for the purpose of 

validating the actual cost and revenue 

data filed by rate–of–return carriers. 

The Commission will use the 

information collected to determine 

whether and to what extent non–price 

cap or rate–of–return carriers providing 

the data are eligible to receive universal 

service support. The Commission will 

use the tariff data to make sure that rates 

are just and reasonable, as required by 

section 201(b) of the 1996 Act.
