Abstract

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks to improve the administration of the Universal Service Fund (USF or Fund) by seeking comment on four areas related to USF administration: current USF administration processes, i.e., the processes used by Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) to administer the USF and the Commission's oversight of those processes; the structure of USF administration, that is, USAC's role and responsibilities related to USF administration; operating costs associated with USF administration; and the impact of USAC's Board of Directors on USF administration.
