TELECOMMUNICATIONS REPORTING WORKSHEET (FCC FORM 499-A) AND
ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS
WC Docket No. 06-122
On October 14, 201 1, the Office of Management and Budget approved revisions to the
Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet, FCC Form 499-A (the Form) and accompanying instructions.
The revisions to the Form and instructions were made in accordance with the Commission's recent order
implementing section 103(b) of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act
of 2010 (CVAA).' This section requires that both interconnected and non-interconnected voice over
Internet protocol (VolP) service providers participate in and contribute to the Telecommunications Relay
Services Fund (TRS Fund).
The revisions to the Form and accompanying instructions include the following:
* Adding a definition for non-interconnected VoIP service providers.
* Adding a filing requirement for non-interconnected VoIP service providers with interstate
end-user revenues subject to TRS Fund contributions.4 Such providers must file the
Form to register with the Commission by December 31, 201 1. If a non-interconnected
VoIP provider has already registered with the Commission (e.g., because it has other
lines of business subject to the Commission's registration and reporting requirements), it
need not refile the Form.
* Requiring non-interconnected VolP service providers with interstate end-user revenues
subject to TRS Fund contributions to designate an agent for service of process.5
* Updating Form instruction references (for Lines 404.1 to 404.3, and 414.1 to 414.2) in
accordance with the CVAA and Commission order."
