§  54.809   Carrier certification.

   (a) Certification. Carriers that desire to receive support pursuant to
   §  54.807 must file a certification with the Administrator and the
   Commission stating that all interstate access universal service support
   provided to such carrier will be used only for the provision,
   maintenance, and upgrading of facilities and services for which the
   support is intended. Support provided pursuant to §  54.807 shall only
   be provided to the extent that the carrier has filed the requisite
   certification pursuant to this section.

   (b) Certification format. A certification pursuant to this section may
   be filed in the form of a letter from an authorized representative for
   the carrier, and must be filed with both the Office of the Secretary of
   the Commission clearly referencing CC Docket No. 96-45, and with the
   Administrator of the interstate access universal service support
   mechanism, on or before the filing deadlines set forth in paragraph (c)
   of this section. All of the certifications filed by carriers pursuant
   to this section shall become part of the public record maintained by
   the Commission.

   (c) Filing deadlines. In order for a price cap local exchange carrier
   or an eligible telecommunications carrier serving lines in the service
   area of a price cap local exchange carrier to receive interstate access
   universal service support, such carrier shall file an annual
   certification, as described in paragraph (b) of this section, on the
   date that it first files its line count information pursuant to
   §  54.802, and thereafter on June 30 of each year. Such carrier that
   files its line count information after the June 30 deadline shall
   receive support pursuant to the following schedule:
