FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
[WC Docket No. 06-122; DA 11-400]
Wireline Competition Bureau Releases 2011 Annual
Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (FCC Form 499-A) and
Accompanying Instructions
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this document, the Wireline Competition Bureau released the
revised annual Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (FCC Form 499-A)
and accompanying instructions. Filers may now submit their FCC Form
499-A to the Universal Service Administrative Company.
DATES: Filers must submit the FCC Form 499-A reporting 2010 revenues by
April 1, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicholas Degani, Wireline Competition
Bureau, Competition Policy Division, at (202) 418-7400 or via the
Internet at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau revised the Form and instructions
to make the process of preparing Form 499-A more user-friendly for
filers. Many changes are intended to replace technical language with
plain language to aid the filer. These non-substantive revisions
include:
(1) Revising the formatting throughout for consistency of
presentation and readability. (2) Consolidating the contact information
and how-to-file information into single sections. (3) Moving the table
used to determine whether a filer is de minimis for universal service
purposes to Appendix A and adjusting the factors used therein to
estimate whether a filer will be de
[[Page 20977]]
minimis in 2011. (4) Moving the list of Line 105 categories (describing
a filer's principal telecommunications activities) into Appendix B. (5)
Noting that email addresses are generally required so that the
Commission and the administrators may contact filers electronically.
Filers must now use Line 208.1 of the Form to specify a contact email
address for ITSP regulatory fee purposes. (6) Reorganizing the sections
discussing reporting revenues in Blocks 3 and 4 so that it parallels
the steps that filers typically take when filing out the form to report
revenues. (7) Consolidating the discussion of specific line revenues
for ease of reference. (8) Referring to filers consistently as
``filers'' rather than as ``contributors'' or ``reporting entities'' in
some places. (9) Deleting information of historical value but
unnecessary for reporting purposes. (10) Updating references to
precedent as appropriate to better track the language in relevant
Commission precedent.
In compliance with 47 CFR 1.47, 52.17(b), 52.32(b), 54.711(a), and
64.604(c)(5)(iii)(B), attached to this notice is a copy of the FCC Form
499-A for 2011 and the FCC Form 499-A instructions can be found at:
