In order to allow determination of the study areas that are entitled to an expense adjustment, and the wire centers that are entitled to high-cost universal service support, incumbent and competitive telecommunications carriers must provide certain data to the National Exchange Carrier Association or the Universal Service Administrative Company annually and/or on occasion. Local telecommunications carriers who want to participate in the federal universal service support program must make certain informational showings to demonstrate eligibility. The Connect America Fund - Broadband Loop Support (CAF-BLS) supports consumer broadband-only loops. The data collected on FCC Forms 507, 508, and 509, will include line counts, forecasted cost and revenues, and actual cost and revenue data associated with consumer broadband-only loops necessary for the calculation of CAF-BLS.

The Commission is reporting adjustments to this information collection as a result of moving certain reporting requirements from OMB Control Number 3060-0986 into this one and as a result of updating the number of carriers that are required to submit information. The total number of unique respondents stayed the same at 1,095, the total annual responses increased from 1,515 to 3,616 (+2,101) and the total annual burden hours increased from 33,330 to 41,070 (+7,740). Therefore, these adjustments have been increased under this OMB control number since the last submission to OMB.
