Washington St. Boise, ID 83720-5983 RE: Case # GNR-T-24-01 FCC Form 555 Annual Lifeline Eligible Telecommunications Carrier Certification Form for TDS Telecom Dear Commission Secretary: Attached is TDS Telecommunications LLC’s Annual Lifeline Eligible Telecommunications Carrier Certification Form (FCC Form 555) which was certified with the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) on January 29, 2024. All recertification outcomes are determined by the National Verifier. Since the National Verifier determines if a participant continues to qualify and TDS does not conduct recertification, the form reflects zeros. Even though TDS no longer conducts recertification, the form is required to be filed. Per FCC rules, TDS Telecom is required to provide you a copy of this filing. If you have any questions concerning this matter or regarding the attached information, please contact me at 608-664-2415 or via e-mail at nicole.mauritz@tdstelecom.com.
