## Abstract

This document concerning the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service clarifies the method by which quarterly line count data will be incorporated in the new high-cost mechanism for purposes of calculating and targeting support amounts. It also clarifies that, until the Commission adopts new line count input values, forward- looking costs for universal service support purposes shall be estimated using the line count input values adopted in the Tenth Report and Order. Finally, it clarifies that high-cost support shall be available on a regular quarterly basis for competitive eligible telecommunications carriers serving lines in areas served by non-rural incumbent local exchange carriers.
