overlash must address any identified
issues before continuing with the
overlash either by modifying its
proposal or by explaining why, in the
party’s view, a modification is
unnecessary. An overlashing party must
notify the affected utility within 15 days
of completion of the overlash and
provide the affected utility at least 90
days to inspect the overlash. If damage
or code violations are discovered by the
utility during the inspection, then it
must notify the overlashing party,
provide adequate documentation of the
problem, and elect to either fix the
problem itself at the overlashing party’s
expense or require remediation by the
overlashing party.

Nos. 10–90, 14–58, Report and Order, 32
FCC Rcd 5944 (2017). The Commission
has received OMB approval for most of
the information collections required by
these orders. At a later date, the
Commission plans to submit additional
revisions for OMB review to address
other reforms adopted in the orders
(e.g., 47 CFR 54.313(a)(6)).
More recently, in the 2018 Rate-ofReturn Order, the Commission adopted
a rule requiring rate-of-return ETCs
receiving high-cost universal service
support to identify on their annual FCC
Form 481 their cost consultants and cost
consulting firm, or other third-party, if
any, used to prepare financial and
operations data disclosures used to
calculate high-cost support for their
submissions to the National Exchange
Carrier Association, USAC, or the
Commission. Connect America Fund et

Rate-of-Return Order). See also 47 CFR
54.313(f)(4).
The Commission therefore proposes
to revise this information collection, as
well as Form 481 and its accompanying
instructions, to reflect this new
requirement. Any increased burdens for
particular reporting requirements are
associated with ETCs newly subject to
those requirements as a condition of
receiving high-cost support.
