The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) requires
telecommunications carriers and other
providers of telecommunications to
contribute to the universal service fund
and other funds. Contribution revenue
data, as well as other information, are
reported by carriers on FCC Form 499–
A (annual) and 499–Q (quarterly).
Accompanying these forms are
instructions on how to report revenue.
Although there are no changes to the
collection requirements or on the forms,
the total hourly burden has been
adjusted. The Commission is reporting a
8,581 hourly increase in burden. This is
due to updated information from the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC), the administrator of
the universal service fund, based on
actual participation in the program.
Specifically, for the FCC Form 499–A,
the Commission has increased the
number of respondents from 5,625 to
5,800 based on the actual number of
contributing entities for fiscal year 2009.
For the FCC Form 499–Q, the number of
respondents increased from 2,525 to
3,600 based on the actual number of
service providers filing FCC Form 499–
Q in 2009. Therefore, the total annual
burden increased from 273,129 to
281,710 hours. And the frequency of
response remained the same for both
forms.
The Commission uses the information
to evaluate individual contributor’s
contributions to the universal service
mechanisms, pursuant to section 254 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
