The Commission will allow respondents
to certify that data contained in their

confidential commercial or financial
information and that disclosure of such
information would likely cause
substantial harm to the competitive
position of the entity filing the
Worksheet. If the Commission receives
a request for or proposes to disclose the
information, the respondent would be
required to make the full showing
pursuant to the Commission’s rules for
withholding from public inspection
information submitted to the
Commission. (See 47 CFR 0.459).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to OMB as a revision during this
comment period to obtain the full three-
year clearance from them.
The Federal Communications
Commission (Commission) requires
telecommunications carriers and other
providers of telecommunications to
contribute to the Universal Service
Fund (USF) and other funds.
Contribution revenue data, as well as
other information, are reported by
carriers on FCC Forms 499–A (annual)
and 499–Q (quarterly). Accompanying
these forms are instructions on how to
report revenue. The revisions that are
proposed for this information collection
will provide clarifications to the 2007
FCC Forms 499–A and 499–Q, and
instructions in order to improve the
revenue reporting process for
respondents. The revisions provide
filers with additional information
concerning, for example, the reporting
of prepaid calling card revenue to reflect
clarifications adopted in various
Commission orders; the treatment of
wireline broadband internet access
service revenue as a result of the
Commission’s Wireline Broadband
Internet Access Services Order; and the
filing of revenues by VoIP toll providers
to reflect the Commission’s IP-in-the-
Middle Order. The revisions also
provide guidance to entities regarding
filing of Form 499–A and 499–Q
