Re:Frontier Communications Submission in Response to 47 C.F.R.§54.313(h)
Dear Ms.Dortch:
Frontier Communications,hereby files the attached information in compliance with 47 CFR §
54.313(h).This rule of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)requires all incumbent
local exchange carrier recipients of High-Cost Loop Support (HCLS)or High-Cost Model Support
(HCMS)1 to annually report their rates for residential local service,as well as state fees as defined
pursuant to §54.318(e),to the extent the sum of those rates and fees are below the rate floor as
defined in §54.318,and the number of lines for each rate specified.In its most recent Order
addressing the rate floor,the Commission directed incumbent ETCs to “report their rates to USAC to
the extent that their rates plus state fees are below [$20.46]2 though Section 54.3 13(b)of the
Commission’s rules,which reduces support based on filed-rates below the rate floor,has been
waived at this time.3
Pursuant to §54.313(i),the reports are being filed with the FCC,the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC),the relevant state commissions,and Tribal governments,as
appropriate.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
Sincerely,
/s/
Michael D.Saperstein,Jr.
