Abstract: Pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, telecommunications carriers (and certain other providers of telecommunications services) must contribute to the support and cost recovery mechanisms for telecommunications relay services, numbering administration, number portability, and universal service. The Commission has combined the reporting requirements associated with these mechanisms so that carriers need only file one worksheet to satisfy all of these requirements. The information will be used to calculate carriers' contributions.
