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 Ms. 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 16, 2016. 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 2016 Access Tariff Filing.

If you have any questions, please call me at 972-908-4415 or email me at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Kim Douglass
