§ 54.707   Audit controls.

   The Administrator shall have authority to audit contributors and carriers
   reporting data to the administrator. The Administrator shall establish
   procedures to verify discounts, offsets, and support amounts provided by the
   universal service support programs, and may suspend or delay discounts,
   offsets, and support amounts provided to a carrier if the carrier fails to
   provide adequate verification of discounts, offsets, or support amounts
   provided upon reasonable request, or if directed by the Commission to do so.
   The Administrator shall not provide reimbursements, offsets or support
   amounts pursuant to part 36 and § 69.116 through 69.117 of this chapter, and
   subparts  D,  E, and G of this part to a carrier until the carrier has
   provided to the Administrator a true and correct copy of the decision of a
   state commission designating that carrier as an eligible telecommunications
   carrier in accordance with § 54.201.
