collected in this survey will be used to
establish a rate floor that eligible
telecommunications carriers (ETCs)
receiving high-cost loop support (HCLS)
or frozen high-cost support must meet to
receive their full support amounts and
to help ensure that universal service
support recipients offering fixed voice

and broadband services do so at
reasonably comparable rates to those in
urban areas.

the Bureaus to ‘‘develop a

recent FCC Form 477 data collection.
‘‘The Commission also delegated
authority to conduct an annual survey,
in order to specify an appropriate
minimum for usage allowances and to
adjust such a minimum over time.’’
