According to NECA’s Washington Watch (September 20, 2016, issue), the Wireline Competition Bureau issued a Public Notice on September 19, 2016, announcing that to implement CAF BLS, all carriers are required to file with USAC forecasted cost and revenue data for the first six months of 2017 on October 1, 2016. The forecasted cost and revenue data associated with consumer broadband-only loops, in addition to the previously collected common line data, will be collected on a revised version of FCC Form 508. The Bureau said it expects USAC will publish its analysis of the effect of budgetary controls on or before November 1, 2016, for the January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 period, and will include the amount of forecasted CAF BLS each carrier will receive during that six-month period, which will enable RoR carriers to file any necessary tariff revisions for consumer broadband-only loops or other services in time to take effect in January.
