9 Federal Communications Commission Response to United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Universal Service Fund Data Request of July 9, 2012 Request 2 Survey of State Universal Service Funds

10 National Regulatory Research Institute (NRRI) in July 2012 released a study titled Survey of State Universal Funds This study discusses the different types of state universal service programs. The study can be found at Their Executive Summary is below: Executive Summary of the State USF Survey 2012 The 2012 NRRI state Universal Service Funds (SUSF) survey addresses the various methods that states use to fund their statelevel service programs, including both the specific highcost funds for mitigating a carrier's costs to provide service in highcost areas and other funds to support consumers in the state, including Lifeline, Telecommunications Relay Service and other specialized funds. The study reviews the amounts assessed, the carriers that contribute to the funds, and the uses for the monies collected. The NRRI study categorizes these funds based on the types of support provided (for example highcost support, telecommunications relay service, and Lifeline support among others). The survey was sent to 50 states and the District of Columbia. 49 states and the District of Columbia responded, providing a robust data base of information that states can use to analyze their own programs or to help determine whether new/revised programs are necessary. Because the state assessments support a number of different programs, this report uses the term state USF as shorthand for the many state funds that support service to highcost areas and consumers in the various states. 1 Understanding the design of the state funds and the level of funding provided is particularly critical at the present time, given the changes to the Federal USF and intercarrier compensation (ICC) structure made by the FCC's recent USF/ICC Transformation Order. In some states, this order reduces carrier support for highcost areas, both through reductions in federal USF support and through anticipated lost revenues from intrastate ICC rate reductions, and could result in the states making up the shortfall. The changes to the Federal USF fund made by the FCC may require states to reexamine their existing funds to determine whether they are sized correctly or if changes are required. Some states that do not have funds may need to create them to ensure that service continues to be provided universally, even in remote parts of the state. The data collected by this study provides background information that may assist commissioners, staff, and legislatures in making those decisions. The NRRI study finds that the majority of the states have some type of fund to support service in rural and highcost areas, although fewer than half of the states have specific highcost support funds. These state funds include combination funds that support multiple types of services; telecommunications relayservice funds that provide service to the deaf and hard of hearing; and broadband funds to support the building and adoption of highspeed data services. Fortythree (43) states and the District of Columbia have a combination of various universal service funds, including highcost, lifeline, schools and libraries, and other types of funds. Twentyone (21) states out of the 43 have funds specifically dedicated to highcost support. Thirtyone (31) states out of the 43 and the District of Columbia have telecommunications relay service funds for the deaf and hard of hearing. 1 For example, although Michigan's Access Restructuring Fund is not specifically a state Universal Service Fund, we group it under that category here for the sake of simplicity. 2 1

11 Four (4) states out of the 43 have funds dedicated specifically to broadband service. Six (6) states Alabama, Delaware, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey and Tennessee do not have any form of funds to support telecommunications service. Proceedings to revise the rules governing state universal service funds are open in a number of states, both as a result of the FCC USF/ICC Transformation Order and new state laws (including those reducing or otherwise limiting telecommunications regulation). These states include Vermont, where the new telecommunications legislation (Act 169) creates a highcost program; Texas, which is reviewing ways to make the Texas fund more transparent; and Maine, which is reviewing the highcost fund in light of its new law. Arkansas is also reviewing the impact of the Federal USF/ICC Transformation Order on the Arkansas High Cost Fund. In Tennessee, a coalition of telecommunications companies is urging the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) to terminate the state Lifeline credit program for wireline service providers. And, in New York, carriers have proposed a Joint Settlement Agreement to establish a State Universal Service fund. Other states, including California and Wyoming, are changing assessment levels. The results of the NRRI USF survey show that there is no single path to creating a state universal service fund, nor is there a single path for determining the specific functions of such a fund. As the survey illustrates, state funds vary from encompassing only Lifeline or Telecom Relay programs to covering a wide array of programs, including highcost support or broadband deployment. Each state fund must be designed individually to meet the specific needs of both the state's constituents and its carriers. States with largely rural populations may generally design their funds to include highcost support for carriers providing service in difficult to reach or widely dispersed areas. States with more urban populations may not need highcost funds, and may concentrate their efforts on supporting specific goals such as broadband deployment or Lifeline services. Contribution amounts and strategies also vary widely, often as a result of the level of competition in the state or the political climate. Where there is competition, consumers will have more choice and policymakers may be likely to provide carriers with less support. The NRRI study provides state regulators and legislators with a number of options for addressing universal service and responding to the effects of the FCC USF/ICC Transformation Order on consumers and carriers. States who have state funds may use this study to benchmark their funds against states with similar topographies and populations. They may also use the data to help their legislatures, the FCC, and others understand how their state fund compares to others. States that are considering implementing a state universal service fund may use the information provided here to review options for developing the fund, determining who should contribute, and studying contribution levels. States that do not have funds may use the data from the study as input for determining whether and under what circumstances a fund may become necessary in their state. 2 2

12 Universal service remains an important goal for telecommunications regulators and the industry. Continuing to study and review information on how various states meet this goal will remain an important public utility commission activity, now and in the future. 2 3

151 Federal Communications Commission Response to United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Universal Service Fund Data Request of July 9, 2012 Requests 12 and 13 Connect America Fund Information: Incremental Funding, Numbers of Locations Nationwide and Housing Units Served by State

152 House Energy & Commerce Questions 12. The amount of incremental additional funding that price cap carriers have accepted as part of the Connect America Fund Phase I; the number of locations those carriers will be required to deploy broadband to in total; and, by state, the number of housing units located in census blocks which those carriers have identified as areas where they intend to deploy broadband for which there was no broadband service available from any commercial broadband provider, including fixed and mobile wireless and satellite. 13. For each of the carriers identified in question 12, the number of housing units located in census blocks which those carriers have identified as areas where they intend to deploy broadband for which there is broadband service available from a commercial broadband provider, including providers of fixed and mobile wireless and satellite. As questions 12 and 13 are closely related, below is a combined response. For 2012, holding companies whose affiliates include price cap carriers accepted a total of $114,765,000 in incremental support. Those carriers will be required to deploy broadband to a total of 148,086 locations. The carriers accepting Connect America Phase I support have indicated plans for deployment in 37 states. The Commission estimates that nearly 400,000 residents and small business owners in these areas will gain access to highspeed Internet within three years as a result of these funds. Due to the manner in which data is currently collected and displayed in the National Broadband Map (Map), the rules for Connect America Phase I allow carriers to identify locations to be served in census blocks which the Map indicates are completely unserved, completely served, or partially served. In reality, there are currently individual unserved locations in census blocks that the map indicates are entirely or partially served. However, in no circumstance may Connect America Fund Phase I support be used to deploy to a location that is already served by a commercial provider. Recognizing that certain aspects of the National Broadband Map could potentially prevent carriers from accepting Connect America Phase I support to quickly deploy broadband to unserved locations (identified as being located in blocks that are completely served on the Map), the Commission modified certain rules on reconsideration. Specifically, the Commission modified the rules to permit carriers accepting CAF Phase I support to satisfy their deployment requirement by deploying to locations identified on the National Broadband Map as located in census blocks that are completely served if the Map reflects that the only provider of fixed broadband to the location is the incumbent carrier itself, the locations are in fact unserved by broadband, and the carrier makes the certifications required by section (b)(3) of the Commission s rules. 1 A carrier is 1 See Connect America Fund et al., WC Docket No et al., Second Order on Reconsideration, 27 FCC Rcd 4648, 4651 para. 9 (2012). 12 & 13 1

153 also permitted to deploy to unserved locations in census blocks the Map indicates are partially served, with appropriate certifications. In all cases, when accepting Connect America Phase I support, carriers were required to certify that the locations to be deployed to are shown on the National Broadband Map as unserved by any provider other than the certifying entity itself or an affiliate; that, to the best of the carrier s knowledge, the locations are, in fact, unserved by fixed broadband; that the carrier s capital improvement plan did not already include plans to complete broadband deployment within the next three years to the locations to be counted to satisfy the deployment obligation; and that incremental support will not be used to satisfy any merger commitment or similar regulatory obligation. 2 In short, Connect America Phase I funds are not permitted to be used to deploy to any locations where fixed broadband is already available or areas in which a carrier already had plans to deploy. At this time, the Commission is unable to determine the actual number of individual locations that each carrier will deploy to at the census block level. Carriers accepting funds were required to indicate the census blocks and wire centers in which they intend to deploy, but were not required to identify the number of individual locations per identified census block. Based on acceptance letters provided by carriers receiving Connect America Phase I support, the Commission has published a map identifying the total number of locations carriers expect to deploy to at the state level. The map is available at However, carriers are not required to indicate the specific locations to which they have deployed until they notify the Commission that they have met their deployment obligations specifically, deployment to no fewer than twothirds of the required number of locations within two years, and all required locations within three years, after filing their notices of acceptance. 2 See Connect America Fund et al., WC Docket No et al., Order, 27 FCC Rcd 8141, 8143 para. 7 (Wireline Comp. Bur. 2012). 12 & 13 2

169 Federal Communications Commission Response to United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Universal Service Fund Data Request of July 9, 2012 Request 15 Total High Cost (2011 and Projected 2013)

170 In 2011, highcost disbursements were $4.031 billion, and $4.447 billion was collected for the highcost program. See Universal Service Administrative Company, 2011 Annual Report, at 40. The difference between collections and disbursements was allocated to a broadband reserve account. The Commission cannot at this time project with specificity the actual highcost disbursements for Consistent with trends from prior years however, in the USF/ICC Transformation Order, the Commission directed the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to forecast total highcost universal service demand annually at $4.5 billion, while recognizing that actual disbursements may be lower than $4.5 billion in the early years of USF reform implementation. In the case that actual contributions exceed demand in a given quarter, the Commission directed USAC to credit excess contributions into a Connect America Fund reserve account to be used to fund future broadband deployment. The Commission recognized that it would be appropriate to provide this flexibility to USAC so that the Commission can implement the Connect America Fund in a way that does not cause dramatic swings in the contribution factor. See USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at , paras

171 Federal Communications Commission Response to United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Universal Service Fund Data Request of July 9, 2012 Request 16 Number of Lines for Carriers with Residential Local Rates and State Regulated Fees Lower than $10 (as of July 1, 2012)

172 On July 31, 2012, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) filed with the Commission a letter which summarized the very low local rates charged by local exchange carriers (LECs) receiving highcost universal service support, as reported to USAC by the LECs. Letter from Karen Majcher, Universal Service Administrative Company, to Marlene Dortch, Federal Communications Commission, WC Docket Nos and 1090, filed July 31, In response to question 16, we attach a copy of that filing. Note that the filing includes only rates below the current $10 rate floor. Question 16 also requested rates between $10 and $15, but that data is not currently available because LECs receiving highcost support were only required to report rates below the current rate floor. 1 rate floor will increase to $14 on July 1, 2013 and to the nationwide average urban rate (as determined by a survey to be conducted) on July 1, The 1 Consistent with the Commission's rules, LECs receiving highcost loop support or highcost model support will have an adjustment made to their support amounts to the extent that they have lines with rates below the rate floor of $ C.F.R

173 Filed in the FCC Electronic Comment Filing System July 31, 2012 Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission th Street, S.W. Washington, DC Re: 2012 Rate Floor Report, Docket No , 1090 Dear Ms. Dortch: In the Connect America Fund Order, the Commission promulgated rule that reduces highcost support for incumbent ETCs where enduser rates do not meet a specified local rate floor. 1 Specifically, beginning in July 2012 highcost loop support (HCLS) and highcost model support (HCMS) will be reduced where a carrier s local enduser rates plus state regulated fees do not meet the urban rate floor representing the national average of local rates plus those state regulated fees. 2 The attached filing provides rate floor information for all carriers that are below the initial local urban rate floor benchmark of $10. Following is a summary of the attached filing: Line count and rate floor adjustment are redacted per CenturyLink s request for confidentiality. 3 The total number of study areas with rate floor reductions is 123. The total annualized rate floor reduction for carriers that receive HCLS or HCMS is $1,394, See In the Matter of Connect America Fund A National Broadband Plan for Our Future Establishing Just and Reasonable rates for Local Exchange Carriers HighCost Universal Service Developing an Unified Intercarrier Compensation Regime FederalState Joint Board on Universal Service Lifeline and LinkUp Universal Service Reform Mobility Fund, WC Docket Nos. 1092, 07135,05337,03109, GN Docket No. 0951,CC Docket Nos. 0192,8645, WT Docket No , Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, FCC 11161, (rel.
