Telephone Corporations' Annual Reporting To Administrator (Rule 202)

01. Requirement to Report. Unless otherwise provided by order of the Commission or letter from the Commission Staff or from the USF administrator issued pursuant to Rule 402, on or before May 30 of each year all telephone corporations providing local exchange service or MTS/WATS intrastate service in Idaho shall report to the administrator the information required by these rules. The administrator shall annually supply forms for these reports on or before May 1 to all telephone corporations for which the administrator has records showing that the telephone corporation provides one (1) or more of these services. The administrator’s failure to supply forms does not relieve any such telephone corporation of its reporting requirements under these rules and statute. The reports that this rule requires to be filed with the administrator should not be filed with the Commission. (3-31-22) 02. The Administrator's Compliance Report. The administrator shall report to the Commission on or before June 15 whether all telephone corporations receiving the forms have complied with the reporting requirements of this Rule 202 and Rules 203 and 204, specifically identifying telephone corporations that have failed to report altogether, those that have incompletely reported, those that have reported late, and those that have failed to remit the monthly surcharges required by Rule 201. The report shall include a summary of the actions taken against the telephone corporations not complying with the USF rules. See Rule 303. (3-31-22) 03. Failure to Comply. A telephone corporation failing to comply with this rule is subject to all sanctions provided. (3-31-22) 203. LOCAL EXCHANGE COMPANIES' (LECS') ANNUAL REPORTS TO THE ADMINISTRATOR (RULE 203). 01.
