COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY

BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

In the Matter of:

AN INQUIRY INTO THE STATE CASE NO. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND 2016·00059

ORDER

On February 1, 2016, the Commission, on its own motion, initiated this administrative proceeding to investigate the current and future funding, distribution, and administration of the Kentucky Universal Service Fund ("KUSF") , which provides supplemental support for authorized telecommunications carriers that also participate in the federal Lifeline program. The Commission stated that the need for the investigation arose from the projected depletion of the KUSF by April 2016, at which time the fund will no longer be able to meet its monthly obligation, absent action to increase funding or reduce spending. The Commission named as parties the Attorney General's office; all

Local Exchange Carriers; all commercial mobile radio service providers; and all eligible telecommunications carriers, and established a procedural schedule providing for the filing of testimony by parties, discovery, and an opportunity for a hearing.

In initiating this investigation, the Commission's February 1, 2016 Order cited the need to maintain the solvency of the KUSF and proposed to either temporarily raise the

KUSF per-line surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14 or to temporarily lower the amount of state support. Any comments addressing either proposal were required to be filed no later than February 22, 2016. The Commission received a total of nine joint and/or individual comments from the parties to the case, as well as three comments from members of the public. Four joint and/or individual comments 1 expressed support for the Commission's proposal to temporarily raise the per-line monthly surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14. Three joinVand or

individual comments2 were neutral regarding the proposed Commission action. Only

East Kentucky Wireless, LLC d/b/a Appalachian Wireless supported reducing the KUSF

support to $2.00. The Attorney General proposed applying the "principles of

gradualism," and suggested that the Commission increase the surcharge to $0.12 and

decrease the amount of KUSF support to $2.75.

Based upon the recommendations, the Commission finds that the surcharge

should be raised to $0.14 on an interim basis while this proceeding is pending. We

base our decision on a variety of factors, most notably the proportional impact of the

increase in the surcharge versus a decrease in support. A six-cent increase in an

average wireless customer's monthly bill is an approximate 0.13 percent increase. By

comparison, a $1 .50 decrease in the amount of state support would result in a

·2· Case No. 2016·00059 significant rate increase in a Lifeline customer's bill. For example, Cincinnati Bell offers a Lifeline discount of $12.75 per line for voice service. Cincinnati Bell offers basic local exchange service at $18.30 a month, meaning that a Lifeline customer now pays approximately $5.55 per month for basic service. A reduction of $1.50 from the KUSF would lead to an approximate rate increase of 27 percent to the Lifeline customer's bill.

Also weighing heavily on our decision is that the majority of parties filing comments did not oppose the surcharge increase, and that the increase is temporary, pending the outcome of this investigation. We also note that a $0.14 surcharge to support a state universal service fund is relatively modest compared to surcharges of other nearby states. For example, rather than a specific amount, Indiana and Illinois impose a monthly surcharge of 0.54 percent and 1.0941 percent respectively on the retail portions of a customers' bill. South Carolina imposes a surcharge of 2.6654 percent, and Georgia imposes one of 2.9 percent.

As in the past, for carriers maintaining tariffs with the Commission, this surcharge should be shown on the customer's bill as ~ Kentucky Lifeline Surcharge." Additionally, carriers that maintain tariffs with the Commission must submit to the Commission updated tariffs no later than March 15, 2016, to reflect the change in surcharge.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. The surcharge for the Kentucky Lifeline Program shall, on an interim basis, be $0.14 per access line per month beginning with bills rendered on and after the date of this Order, or, as soon as allowed by applicable contracts between customers and carriers.

-3- Case No. 2016-00059 2. By March 15, 2016, where applicable, carriers shall submit tariff revisions to reflect this change.
