                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION
 
        CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (CONTINUED)
 
PART 69_ACCESS CHARGES--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart B_Computation of Charges
 
Sec. 69.131  Universal service end user charges.

    To the extent the company makes contributions to the Universal 
Service Support Mechanisms pursuant to Sec. Sec. 54.706 and 54.709 of 
this chapter and the non-price cap local exchange carrier seeks to 
recover some or all of the amount of such contribution, the non-price 
cap local exchange carrier shall recover those contributions through a 
charge to end users other than Lifeline users. The charge to recover 
these contributions is not part of any other element established 
pursuant to part 69. Such a charge may be assessed on a per-line basis 
or as a percentage of interstate retail revenues, and at the option of 
the local exchange carrier it may be combined for billing purposes with 
other end user retail rate elements. A non-price cap local exchange 
carrier opting to assess the Universal Service end-user rate element on 
a per-line basis may apply that charge using the ``equivalency'' 
relationships established for the multi-line business PICC for Primary 
Rate ISDN service, as per Sec. 69.153(d), and for Centrex lines, as per 
Sec. 69.153(e).
