§  54.802   Obligations of local exchange carriers and the Administrator.

   (a) Each Eligible Telecommunications Carrier that is providing service
   within an area served by a price cap local exchange carrier shall
   submit to the Administrator, on a quarterly basis on the last business
   day of March, June, September, and December of each year line count
   data showing the number of lines it serves for the period ending three
   months prior to the reporting date, within each price cap local
   exchange carrier study area disaggregated by UNE Zone if UNE Zones have
   been established within that study area, showing
   residential/single-line business and multi-line business line counts
   separately. For purposes of this report, and for purposes of computing
   support under this subpart, the aggregated residential/single-line
   business class lines reported include single and non-primary
   residential lines, single-line business lines, ISDN BRI and other
   related residential class lines. Similarly, the multi-line business
   class lines reported include multi-line business, centrex, ISDN PRI and
   other related business class lines assessed the End User Common Line
   charge pursuant to §  69.152 of this chapter. For purposes of this
   report and for purposes of computing support under this subpart, lines
   served using resale of the price cap local exchange carrier's service
   pursuant to section 251(c)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
   amended, shall be considered lines served by the price cap local
   exchange carrier only and must be reported accordingly.

   (b) In addition to the information submitted pursuant to paragraph (a)
   of this section, each price cap local exchange carrier must submit to
   the Administrator, on June 30, 2000, October 15, 2000, and April 16,
   2001 and annually thereafter or as determined by the Administrator
   according to §  54.808:

   (1)(i) Average Price Cap CMT Revenue per Line month in a study area for
   each of its study areas;

   (ii) The rates established for UNE Loops and UNE Line Ports, by zone in
   those study areas where UNE Zones have been established as of the date
   of filing; and

   (iii) Make available information sufficient to determine the boundaries
   of each UNE Zone within each of its study areas where such zones have
   been established;

   (2) Provided, however, that after the June 30, 2000 filing, if there
   have been no changes since its previous filing a company may submit a
   statement that there have been no changes in lieu of such information,
   and further provided that, for study areas in which UNE Zones have been
   newly established since the last filing pursuant to this paragraph, the
   price cap local exchange carrier shall also report the information
   required by paragraphs (b)(1)(ii) and (b)(1)(iii) of this section to
   the Administrator on July 15, 2000, or January 15, 2001, as required.

   (c) An eligible telecommunications carrier shall be eligible for
   support pursuant to this subpart only after it has filed all of the
   information required by paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section,
   where applicable. An eligible telecommunications carrier shall receive
   payment of support pursuant to this subpart only for such months the
   carrier is actually providing service to the end user. The
   Administrator shall ensure that there is periodic reconciliation of
   support payments.

   (d) Upon receiving the information required to be filed in paragraphs
   (a) and (b) of this section, the Administrator shall:

   (1) Perform the calculations described in § §  54.804 through 54.807 of
   this subpart;

   (2) Publish the results of these calculations showing Interstate Access
   Universal Service Support Per Line available in each price cap local
   exchange carrier study area, by UNE Zone and customer class;

   (3) Collect the funds necessary to provide support pursuant to this
   subpart in accordance with subpart H;

   (4) Distribute support calculated pursuant to the rules contained in
   this subpart; and

   (5) Report quarterly to the Commission on the collection and
   distribution of funds under this subpart as described in §  54.701(g).
   Fund distribution reporting will be by state and by eligible
   telecommunications carrier within the state.
