Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The respondents may request confidentiality protection for the special access performance information. The respondents are not required to file their customers’ monthly usage information with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Needs and Uses: Since the release of the Lifeline Order, WC Docket No. 03– 109, FCC 04–87, in April 2004, the Commission has taken several steps to streamline program requirements and further safeguard the Universal Service Fund from waste, fraud, and abuse. Specifically, sample certification and verification letters are provided on the Universal Service Administrative Company’s (USAC) Web site to assist eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) in complying with certification and verification requirements adopted in the Lifeline Order. Although the use of such letters is optional, ETCs are encouraged to make use of them because they standardize the collection of information and reduce the likelihood of errors in providing the information that is needed. In addition, on August 29, 2007, the Commission released the 2007 Order, 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. In this 2007 Order, the Commission requires ETCs to retain records verifying the eligibility of a Lifeline recipient for as long as the ETC provides Lifeline service to that customer, even after being audited. Finally, the Lifeline and Link Up Worksheet (Form 497) and the accompanying instructions have been updated to reflect changes in the federal tariffed End User Common Line charge (EUCL).

Frequency of Response: On occasion, quarterly and annual reporting requirements; third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 8,692 hours. Total Annual Cost: $0.00. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impacts. Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The Commission will use the information requirements to determine whether and to what extent rural telecommunications carriers and competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) providing the data are eligible to receive universal service support. This information includes loop counts, by disaggregation zone, for rural incumbent carriers, which is used to calculate the per-line high-cost universal service support amount available to competitive ETCs serving their territories. It also includes loop counts, by disaggregation zone or unbundled network element zone, for competitive ETCs, which is used to calculate the total high-cost universal service support amount available to competitive ETCs. This competitive ETC loop count requirement includes areas served by incumbent non-rural carriers, in addition to incumbent rural carriers, due to the consolidation of information collections included in a previous revision. Additionally, this information collection requires states to certify that incumbent rural carriers and competitive ETCs are using the highcost universal service support only for the provision, maintenance, and upgrading of facilities and services for which the supports is intended. Finally, this information collection includes cost data filed by incumbent rural carriers on an as-needed basis to establish eligibility for the safety net and safety valve high-cost universal service support mechanisms.
