Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated

The FCC
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number. No
person shall be subject to any penalty
for failing to comply with a collection
of information subject to the PRA that
does not display a valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number.
OMB Control Number: 3060–0233.
Title: Part 54—Rate-of-Return Carrier
Universal Service Reporting
Requirements; Waiver of Local
Exchange Carrier Study Area Boundary
Changes.
Form Number: FCC Form 507, FCC
Form 508 and FCC Form 509.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 1,098 respondents; 3,627
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–22
hours.
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154, 214,
218–220, 221(c), 254, and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 34,404 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: In order to determine
which carriers are entitled to universal
service support, all rate-of-return
regulated (rate-of-return) incumbent
local exchange carriers (LECs) must
provide the National Exchange Carrier
Association (NECA) with the loop cost
and loop count data required by section
54.1305 for each of its study areas and,
if applicable, for each wire center as that
term is defined in 47 CFR part 54. See
47 CFR 54.1305, 54.5. The loop cost and
loop count information is to be filed
annually with NECA by July 31st of
each year. See 47 CFR 54.1305. Pursuant
to section 54.1307, the information filed
on July 31st of each year will be used
to calculate universal service support
for each study area and is filed by NECA
with the Commission on October 1 of
each year. See 47 CFR 54.1307. An
incumbent LEC is defined as a carrier
that meets the definition of ‘‘incumbent
local exchange carrier’’ in section 51.5
of the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR
51.5.
In March 2016, the Commission
adopted the Rate-of-Return Reform
Order to continue modernizing the
universal service support mechanisms
for rate-of-return carriers. Connect

et al., 31 FCC Rcd 3087 (2016) (Rate-of-

Return Reform Order). The Rate-ofReturn Reform Order replaced the
Interstate Common Line Support (ICLS)
mechanism with the Connect America
Fund—Broadband Loop Support (CAF–
BLS) mechanism. Id. at 3117–57, paras.
80–187. While ICLS supported only
lines used to provide traditional voice
service (including voice service bundled
with broadband service), CAF–BLS also
supports consumer broadband-only
loops. Id. at 3157–62, paras. 188–204.
For the purposes of calculating and
monitoring CAF–BLS, rate-of-return
carriers that receive CAF–BLS must file
common line and consumer broadbandonly loop counts on FCC Form 507,
forecasted common line and consumer
broadband-only loop costs and revenues
on FCC Form 508, and actual common
line and consumer broadband-only loop
costs and revenues on FCC Form 509.
See 47 CFR 54.903(a).
In December 2018, the Commission
adopted the December 2018 Rate-ofReturn Reform Order to require rate-ofreturn carriers that receive Alternative
Connect American Model (A–CAM) or
Alaska Plan support to file line count
data on FCC Form 507 as a condition of
high-cost support. Connect America
Fund et al., WC Docket No. 10–90 et al.,
Report and Order, Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking and Order on
Reconsideration, 33 FCC Rcd 11893
(2018) (2018 Rate-of-Return Reform
Order). Historically, all rate-of-return
carriers that received CAF–BLS or, prior
to that, ICLS, were required to file line
count data on FCC Form 507 as a
condition of that support but Rate-ofreturn carriers that had elected to
receive A–CAM I, A–CAM II, or Alaska
Plan instead were not. Id. at 11937,
para. 148. In order to restore a data set
that the Commission relied on to
evaluate the effectiveness of its highcost universal service programs, the
Commission revised its rules in that
Order to require all rate-of-return
carriers to file that data. See id. at
11937, para. 51. While carriers receiving
CAF–BLS must file the line count data
on March 31 for line counts as of the
prior December 31, the A–CAM I, A–
CAM II, and Alaska Plan carriers will be
required to file on July 1 of each year
to coincide with other existing
requirements in OMB Control No. 3060–
0986. 47 CFR 54.903(a)(1), 54.313(f)(5).
On October 20, 2023, the Commission
made changes to rate-of-return reporting
rules by eliminating optional
unseparated loop cost data quarterly
updates. Connect America Fund et al.,

2023). In addition, the Commission
amended section 36.4 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 36.4, to
require local exchange carriers seeking a
change in study area boundaries to
submit a petition for waiver of these
boundary changes notwithstanding any
prior exemptions from such waiver
requests including, but not limited to,
when a company is combining
previously unserved territory with one
of its study areas or a holding company
is consolidating existing study areas
within the same state. See id. at 176–
180, paras. 77–79. The Commission
therefore proposes to revise this
information collection.
