same manner as the incumbent LEC
would not be subject to the cap.
Eliminating the ‘‘own costs’’ exception
does not alter the content of this
information collection; it does, however,
address and satisfy the terms of
clearance in the May 2009 Notice of
Office of Management and Budget
Notice of Approval.
The order also revises the
certifications that states (or ETCs that
are not subject to state jurisdiction) are
required to file annually with the
Commission and the universal service
fund Administrator to ensure that
carriers use universal service support
‘‘only for the provision, maintenance
and upgrading of facilities and services
for which the support is intended’’
consistent with section 254(e) of the
Act. Although the existing certifications
are prospective only, the revised
certification will ensure that carriers not
only will use support in the next year
for the intended purposes, but also have
used support in the prior year for the
intended purposes.
The order also eliminates eligibility
for Safety Net Additive support for costs
incurred after 2009. Accordingly, this
collection is being revised to eliminate
the requirement that carriers notify the
Commission and USAC that they qualify
for Safety Net Additive Support.
The order also eliminates the
distinction between ‘‘rural’’ and ‘‘nonrural’’ carriers. Therefore, this collection
is being revised to eliminate the
reporting requirements for selfcertification as a rural carrier.
The order also moves the
recordkeeping requirement from 47 CFR
54.202(e) to new 47 CFR 54.320. It also
increases the required document
retention period from five to ten years
and makes clear that carriers are subject
to random compliance audits and other
investigations and must make all
documents and records available to the
Commission, any of its Bureaus or
Offices, the USF Administrator, and
their respective auditors.
The order extends current federal
annual reporting requirements to all
ETCs, including those designated by
states. Specifically, the order requires
that all ETCs must include in their
annual reports the information that is
currently required by § 54.209(a)(1)
through (a)(6)—specifically, a progress
report on their five-year build-out plans;
data and explanatory text concerning
outages; unfulfilled requests for service;
complaints received; certification of
compliance with applicable service

quality and consumer protection
standards; and certification of its ability
to function in emergency situations. All
ETCs that receive high-cost support will
file this information with the
Commission, USAC, and the relevant
state commission, relevant authority in
a U.S. Territory, or Tribal government,
as appropriate.
Finally, this submission eliminates
the recordkeeping requirements from
OMB Control Number 3060–0894. Upon
OMB approval of this information
collection revision, the Commission will
voluntarily discontinue OMB Control
Number 3060–0894.
The Commission plans to submit
additional revisions or new collections
for OMB review and approval to address
other reforms adopted in the Order at a
later date.
