Re: Annual Reporting Requirements for High - Cost Recipients Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 51.915
(d) (3) and 47 C.F.R. §54.304(c) (1)
Dear Mrs. Jewell:
The Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") November 18, 2011 USF/ICC
Transformation Order, FCC 11-161 (WC Docket No. 10-90) requires carriers seeking to obtain
recovery through the federal mechanisms established in that Order to make certain certifications
to the FCC and to state commissions regarding their eligibility for, and their compliance with the
rules applicable to, such recovery.
Specifically, 47 C.F.R. §51.915(d)(3) requires Price Cap Carriers to certify annually to the FCC
and to relevant state commissions that the carrier is not seeking duplicative recovery in the state
jurisdiction for any Eligible Recovery subject to the federal recovery mechanisms. In
compliance with that requirement, Frontier Communications Corporation (Frontier
Communications) hereby submits a copy of the certification that was filed with the Federal
Communications Commission on June 18, 2012. Please refer to Attachment "A".
The FCC's November 18, 2011 USF/ICC Transformation Order, FCC 11-161 (WC Docket No.
10-90) also requires price cap carriers seeking CAF ICC support to file data establishing the
amount of the price cap carrier's eligible CAF ICC funding per 47 C.F.R. §54.304(c)(1). Please
refer to Attachment "B" for Frontier Communications anticipated CAF ICC support and Access
Recovery Charge Revenue amounts submitted with its Annual 2012 Access Tariff Filing.
