The information also will be used by the clearinghouses to maintain a national database, determine reimbursement obligations of entrants pursuant to the Commission’s rules, and notify such entrants of their reimbursement obligations. Additionally, the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:50 Oct 17, 2017 Jkt 244001 information will be used to facilitate dispute resolution and for FCC oversight of the clearinghouses and the costsharing plan.
