Section 31.46.01.401 - LECS' EXEMPTION FROM REPORTING AND REMITTANCES01.Criteria for Exemption. Local exchange companies may be exempted from monthly remittances and monthly reporting to the USF administrator under Rule 201 by order of the Commission or letter from the Commission Staff or from the USF administrator upon the grounds that the LEC provides such a small number of local service lines in Idaho and generates such a small monthly surcharge that neither the practical administration of the USF nor the public interest requires monthly remittances and reporting.02.Action on Requests. The order or letter excusing the LEC from monthly reporting shall specify quarterly, semiannual or annual remittances and reporting instead. The order or letter may be issued upon request of the LEC or upon the initiative of the Commission, the Commission Staff, or the USF administrator without a request from the LEC. No LEC will be excused from making remittances less often than annually nor from annual reporting under Rules 202 and 203.03.Requests of Exemptions. This Commission Staff shall maintain a file of all exemptions under this rule and supply a copy to the Commission Secretary and to the USF administrator.04.Petition From Initial Denial by Commission Staff or Administrator. If a request for a LEC's exemption is denied by the Commission Staff or the Administrator, the LEC may petition the Commission.Idaho Admin. Code r. 31.46.01.401
