R14-2-A1209. Procedures for Handling AUSF Rate Changes

A. Category 1 and Category 2 AUSF surcharges shall be revised when the Commission authorizes new or revised AUSF payments to any provider of telecommunications service. The Administrator shall calculate the new AUSF flow-through surcharges in accordance with this Article, which surcharges shall become effective upon the Commission’s approval of the new or revised AUSF payments. B. An annual calculation to revise AUSF flow-through surcharges shall be made by the Administrator on December 1 of each year with an effective date the following January 1. The flow-through surcharges shall be calculated so that the total AUSF funding will equal the AUSF revenue requirements, plus administrative costs as well as any corrections and true- ups. No later than December 1 of each year, the Administrator shall provide notice to the Commission and all telecommunication service providers who pay into the AUSF of the flow- through surcharge rates for the following calendar year.
