Sec. 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.
