Annual USF Certification

USF Certification Process

Certification Process Starting 2004

ILEC Certification

Annual USF certifications may be submitted as a non-case related submission in EFIS. Staff and OPC will be able to view all submissions. Each company will only be able to view its own submission.

ILECs: In addition to the affidavit and spreadsheet, please provide a brief narrative of the supported expenses that were incurred in the analysis year. Since the high cost funds are to be used for the provision, maintenance or upgrade of facilities and services and the expenses were incurred two years in arrears, the analysis year for the narrative would be 2006. For instance, your narrative might be a paragraph describing 2006 investment for specific equipment upgrades or describing 2006 investment for installing fiber. The narrative might describe the expenses related to USF support as being incurred for the on-going maintenance of the network in 2006.

ILECs and Competitive ETCs: In addition to the requirements of 4 CSR 240-3.570, please provide an update on the number of low income/disabled customers receiving support and also a narrative on the company's low income/disabled advertising process/policy.
