High-Cost Universal Service Support - Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the High-Cost Universal Service Support - Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (US Federal Communications Commission Regulation) (FCC) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this Order, the Commission takes action to rein in the explosive growth in high-cost universal service support disbursements. As recommended by the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, the Commission adopts an interim, emergency cap on the amount of high-cost support that competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) may receive. Specifically, as of the effective date of this Order, total annual competitive ETC support for each state will be capped at the level of support that competitive ETCs in that state were eligible to receive during March 2008 on an annualized basis. The Commission also adopts two limited exceptions from the specific application of the interim cap. The interim cap will remain in place only until the Commission adopts comprehensive high-cost universal service reform. In addition, the Commission resolves most of the petitions for ETC designation currently pending before the Commission.
