RE: IUSF Audit
Dear Mr. Gleason:
In your letter dated December 14, 1998, you asked several questions concerning the operation of the Idaho Universal Service Fund (USF).  As we discussed in our telephone conversation of December 31, the four laws and regulations that you identified in your audit letter are the substantive statutes which address the operations of the USF.  The only other items which come to mind would be: 1) the contract entered into between the Administrator and the Public Utilities Commission regarding the Administrator’s duties; 2) and those Orders issued by the Commission that deal with the USF (e.g., authorizing disbursements and setting surcharge levels).  
Turning to your last question, I am unaware of any areas where the funded Administrator has been not in compliance with pertinent laws and regulations.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 334-0312.  Best wishes for a prosperous new year.
Sincerely,
Donald L. Howell, II
Deputy Attorney General
