Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service

This Report and Order extends the duration of the indexed interim cap (``interim cap'') on the rate of growth of the Universal Service Fund (``USF''), amending the Commission's rules regarding jurisdictional separations. This action will moderate the growth of the USF while the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service and the Commission consider changes to the universal service rules. The interim cap is extended in order to facilitate the transition to any new universal service rules that are adopted consistent with the mandates of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
