  § 54.711   Contributor reporting requirements.

   (a) Contributions shall be calculated and filed in accordance with the
   Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet which shall be published in the
   Federal Register. The Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet sets forth
   information that the contributor must submit to the Administrator on a
   quarterly and annual basis. The Commission shall announce by Public
   Notice published in the Federal Register and on its website the manner
   of payment and dates by which payments must be made. An executive
   officer of the contributor must certify to the truth and accuracy of
   historical data included in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet,
   and that any projections in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet
   represent a good-faith estimate based on the contributor's policies and
   procedures. The Commission or the Administrator may verify any
   information contained in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet.
   Contributors shall maintain records and documentation to justify
   information reported in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet,
   including the methodology used to determine projections, for three
   years and shall provide such records and documentation to the
   Commission or the Administrator upon request. Inaccurate or untruthful
   information contained in the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet may
   lead to prosecution under the criminal provisions of Title 18 of the
   United States Code. The Administrator shall advise the Commission of
   any enforcement issues that arise and provide any suggested response.

   (b) The Commission shall have access to all data reported to the
   Administrator. Contributors may make requests for Commission
   nondisclosure of company-specific revenue information under § 0.459 of
   this chapter by so indicating on the Telecommunications Reporting
   Worksheet at the time that the subject data are submitted. The
   Commission shall make all decisions regarding nondisclosure of
   company-specific information. The Administrator shall keep confidential
   all data obtained from contributors, shall not use such data except for
   purposes of administering the universal service support programs, and
   shall not disclose such data in company-specific form unless directed
   to do so by the Commission. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the
   Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau, the Universal Service
   Administrator may share data obtained from contributors with the
   administrators of the North American Numbering Plan administration cost
   recovery (See 47 CFR 52.16 of this chapter), the local number
   portability cost recovery (See 47 CFR 52.32 of this chapter), and the
   TRS Fund (See 47 CFR 64.604(c)(4)(iii)(H) of this chapter). The
   Administrator shall keep confidential all data obtained from other
   administrators and shall not use such data except for purposes of
   administering the universal service support mechanisms.

   (c) The Bureau may waive, reduce, modify, or eliminate contributor
   reporting requirements that prove unnecessary and require additional
   reporting requirements that the Bureau deems necessary to the sound and
   efficient administration of the universal service support mechanisms.

   [ 64 FR 41332 , July 30, 1999, as amended at  66 FR 16151 , Mar. 23, 2001;
    67 FR 13227 , Mar. 21, 2002;  67 FR 79533 , Dec. 30, 2002]
