that the requirement applies specifically to recipients of High-Cost Loop Support and High-Cost Model Support.

Re:Frontier Communications Submission in Response to 47 C.F.R.§54.313(h),WC Docket
No.14-58
Dear Ms.Dortch:
Frontier Communications hereby files the attached information in compliance with 47 CFR
§54.313(h).This rule requires all incumbent local exchange carrier recipients of High-Cost Loop
Support (HCLS)or High-Cost Model Support (HCMS)’to annually report their rates for
residential local service,as well as state fees as defined pursuant to Section 54.318(e),to the
extent the sum of those rates and fees are below the rate floor as defined in Section 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 [the urban rate floor of $20.46],h12 though Section
54.313(b)of the Commission’s rules,which reduces support based on filed-rates below the rate
floor,has been waived at this time for rates below the rate floor but above $16.
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 contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Is!Af Burton
