Bill overview
This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and report on the filing requirements for telecommunications carriers receiving support through the Universal Service Fund programs. The report will analyze the financial impact of these requirements and suggest ways to reduce duplication. Following the GAO’s report, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must then initiate a rulemaking process to consolidate redundant filings and consider the GAO’s recommendations.
