In the Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Congress directed the Commission to implement a new set of
universal service support mechanisms that are explicitly and
sufficient to advance the universal service principles enumerated
in 47 USC Section 254 and other such principles as the Commission
believes are necessary and appropriate for the protection of the
public interest, convenience and necessity, and are consistent with
the 1996 Act. Parts 36 and 54 promulgate the rules and requirements
to preserve and advance universal service; the collections are
necessary to implement Sec. 254.

This information collection has
been revised to add recordkeeping requirements imposed as a result
of the 2007 Comprehensive Review of the Universal Service Fund
Management, Administration and Oversight, WC Docket Nos. 05-195,
02-60, 03-109 and CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 02-6, 97-21, FCC 07-150
(OMB Control Number 3060-1112). In addition, the burden estimates
have been re-analyzed and revised as a result, which resulted in
both program changes and adjustments. The program changes and
adjustments are due to the following: (a) a revision in the number
of respondents and burden hours per response; (b) the addition of
several recordkeeping requirements.
