§ 52.17   Costs of number administration.

   All telecommunications carriers in the United States shall contribute on a
   competitively neutral basis to meet the costs of establishing numbering
   administration.

   (a) Contributions to support numbering administration shall be the product
   of the contributors' end-user telecommunications revenues for the prior
   calendar year and a contribution factor determined annually by the Chief of
   the Common Carrier Bureau; such contributions to be no less than twenty-five
   dollars  ($25). The contribution factor shall be based on the ratio of
   expected number administration expenses to end-user telecommunications
   revenues. Carriers that have no end-user telecommunications revenues shall
   contribute twenty-five dollars ($25). In the event that contributions exceed
   or are inadequate to cover administrative costs, the contribution factor for
   the following year shall be adjusted by an appropriate amount.

   (b) All telecommunications carriers in the United States shall complete and
   submit a “Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet” (as published by the
   Commission in the Federal Register), which sets forth the information needed
   to calculate contributions referred to in paragraph (a) of this section. The
   worksheet  shall be certified to by an officer of the contributor, and
   subject  to  verification  by the Commission or the B & C Agent at the
   discretion of the Commission. The Chief of the Common Carrier Bureau may
   waive, reduce, modify, or eliminate contributor reporting requirements that
   prove unnecessary and require additional reporting requirements that the
   Bureau deems necessary to the sound and efficient administration of the
   number administration cost recovery.

   (c)  For  the  purposes  of this section, the term “telecommunications
   carrier” or “carrier” shall include interconnected VoIP providers as that
   term is defined in § 52.21(h).
