1998 Biennial Regulatory ReviewStreamlined Contributor Reporting Requirements Associated with Administration of Telecommunications Relay Services, North American Numbering Plan, Local Number Portability, and Universal Service Support Mechanisms

The Commission combined four reporting requirements so that carriers need only file one worksheet to satisfy the contributor reporting requirements associated with: the universal service support mechanisms; telecommunications relay services; cost recovery mechanism for numbering administration; and cost recovery mechanism for shared costs of long-term local number portability. The Commission also made other modifications designed to rationalize requirements, including changing the revenue measure for assessing contributions to the TRS Fund and numbering administration cost recovery so that contributions will be based on end-user telecommunications revenues.
