Abstract
This document contains corrections to the final rules in 47 CFR part 54, which were published in the Federal Register March 2, 2012, (77 FR 12952). A correction to the final regulations in part 54 was published in the Federal Register March 30, 2012 (77 FR 19125). The regulations relate to the Federal Communications Commission's initiatives to comprehensively reform and modernize the Universal Service Lifeline program. The reforms adopted will substantially strengthen protections against waste, fraud, and abuse; improve program administration and accountability; improve enrollment and consumer disclosures; initiate modernization of the program for broadband; and constrain the growth of the program in order to reduce the burden on all who contribute to the Universal Service Fund.
