On July 17, 1998, however, the Commission released an Order indicatingthat the revised high cost support mechanisms for non-rural carriers will take effect July 1,1999. 5 The Bureau released a Public Notice on July 31, 1998, indicating that it would submitFederal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, Report and Order, 12 FCC Red 8776,8927,, 273 (1997) (Universal Service Order).1Self-Certification as a Rural Telephone Company, Public Notice, DA 97-1748 (rel.

a list of rural telephone companies to USAC on January 1, rather than July 31, of each year. 6For purposes of determining federal universal service high cost support for July 1,1999 through June 30, 2000, we will treat as rural carriers the LECs that filed rural selfcertification letters this year. The list of carriers in Attachment 1 that we are sending toUSAC includes those carriers listed in the attachment to the June 22 Public Noticeannouncing receipt of the rural self-certification letters as well as those carriers that submittedself-certification letters after release of the June 22 Public Notice. The Bureau's acceptanceof a carrier's self-certification as rural in this Public Notice is not intended to confer status asa "rural telephone company" on such carrier for future years or for any other purpose. Thisdoes not preclude further guidance in interpreting the definition of "rural telephone company"in the future or a determination for future years that a carrier that has self-certified as ruralshould be instead treated as a non-rural carrier.For further information contact Katie King, Accounting Policy Division, CommonCarrier Bureau at (202) 418-7400.Common Carrier Bureau Announces New Date for Sending List of Rural TelephoneCompanies to the Universal Service Administrative Company, Public Notice, DA 98-1520 (rel.July 31, 1998).663
