Streszczenie

In this document, the Commission reconsiders its July 18, 1997 order to the extent that the Universal Service Worksheet (Worksheet) attached to that order required universal service contributors to report as end-user telecommunications revenues those revenues derived from the provision of inside wiring maintenance. The Commission amends of its rules to permit the Administrator of the federal universal service support mechanisms to utilize Telecommunications Relay Services Fund data to verify the accuracy of revenue information provided on the Worksheet. The Commission also amends its rules to clarify that a telecommunications carrier seeking reimbursement from the Administrator may request that the amount of the discount afforded to that school or library be applied either as an offset to the carrier's universal service contribution obligation or reimbursed to the carrier from the universal service support mechanisms.
