• On June 19, 2012, staff with the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) submitted a status report in its general tariff docket that identified local exchange carriers that are not fully compliant with the NCUC’s May 29, 2012 order directing carriers to file proof of compliance with the November 18, 2011 FCC Intercarrier Compensation/Universal Service Reform Order (FCC 11-161). Pursuant to the NCUC’s order, which specified an effective date of July 3, 2012 for revised intrastate switched access tariffs, non-average schedule incumbent local exchange carriers were required to file workpapers supporting tariff revisions by June 1, 2012. Average schedule incumbents and competitive carriers with intrastate switched access rates equal to their interstate rates were required to file an affidavit by June 1, 2012 indicating that their rates were the same. Average schedule incumbents and competitive carriers with interstate and intrastate rates that varied were required to provide proof of compliance with the FCC’s required rate reductions by June 1, 2012. In its status report, however, NCUC staff indicated that while a number of competitive carriers have fully complied with the Order, “an even larger number have either provided insufficient information or failed to respond at all.” A copy of the status report can be found here.
