Through 07/31/2017, providers of access lines, as defined at Subsection 54-8b-2(1), are required to remit to the Public Service Commission of Utah (PSC) 1.65% of their billed intrastate retail rates. As of 08/01/2017, providers of access lines are required to collect from their end-user customers a monthly surcharge of $0.36 per access line and remit to the PSC at least 98.69% of the total monthly surcharge collections. In order to comply with federal law, the rule includes a mechanism whereby an end-user may be exempted from the per-connection surcharge on a showing that the end-user does not use the access line at issue to facilitate Utah intrastate telecommunications services.
