NOTICE: To implement Section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Federal Communications Commission has adopted changes to the federal low-income programs.

The Commission has expanded the availability of these programs and the level of funding for discounts to low-income customers.

The following worksheet provides the means by which eligible telecommunications carriers will be reimbursed by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) for their participation

in these programs. Failing to collect the information, or collecting it less frequently, would prevent the Commission from implementing sections 214 and 254 of the Act, would thwart Congress'

goals of providing affordable service and access to advanced services throughout the nation, and would result in eligible telecommunications carriers not receiving universal service support

reimbursements in a timely fashion.

We have estimated that each response to this collection of information will take, on average, three hours for each respondent. Our estimate includes the time to read this data request,

review existing records, gather and maintain required data, and complete and review the response. If you have any comments on this estimate, or on how we can improve the

collection and reduce the burden it causes you, please write the Federal Communications Commission, AMD-PERM, Washington, D.C. 20554, Paperwork Reduction Project (3060-0819).

We will also accept your comments on the burden estimate via the Internet if you send them to [email protected]. Please DO NOT SEND the data requested to this e-mail address.

Remember -- An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information sponsored by the Federal government unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control number. This information collection has been assigned OMB Control Number: 3060-0819.

The FCC is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to collect the information we request in this form. If we believe there may be a violation or a potential violation of

a FCC statute, regulation, rule or order, your worksheet may be referred to the Federal, state or local agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing the statute,

rule, regulation or order. In certain cases, the information in your worksheets may be disclosed to the Department of Justice or a court or adjudicative body when (a) the FCC; or (b) any employee

of the FCC; or (c) the United States Government is a party of a proceeding before the body or has an interest in the proceeding.

If you do not provide the information we request on the form, the FCC may delay processing of your worksheet or may return your worksheet without action.

The foregoing Notice is required by the Privacy Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93-579, December 31, 1974, 5 U.S.C. Section 552, and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-13,

Sheet 9: Notice

NOTICE: Sections 54.307(b) and 54.802(a) of the Federal Communications Commission's rules requires all competitive eligible telecommunications carriers to provide line count information to USAC, the universal service Administrator, in order to be eligible to receive support. Pursuant to Sections 54.307(c) and 54.802(a), this information must be submitted by support mechanism on a quarterly basis in accordance with the incumbent carrier's line count reporting schedule. This collection of information stems from the Commission's authority under Section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §254. The data in the form will be used to calculate the amount of support, if any, that each reporting carrier is eligible to receive from the High Cost support mechanisms.

USAC has estimated that each response to this collection of information will take, on average, 1.5 hours. USAC's estimate includes the time to read the instructions, look through existing records, gather and maintain the required data, and actually complete and review the form or response. If you have any comments on this estimate, or how we can improve the collection and reduce the burden it causes you, please write the Federal Communications Commission, AMD-PERM, Washington, D.C. 20554, Paperwork Reduction Project ([insert collection number]). We also will accept your comments via the Internet if you send them to [email protected]. Please DO NOT SEND COMPLETED WORKSHEETS TO THIS ADDRESS.

Remember -- You are not required to respond to a collection of information sponsored by the Federal government, and the government may not conduct or sponsor this collection, unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. This collection has been assigned an OMB control number 3060-0986.
