Carriers and providers must report their actual and projected end user and carrier’s carrier revenues for each calendar quarter by filing the Form 499-Q.
The Form 499-Q filing reporting historical revenue for January 1 through March 31 of 2018 and projected revenues for July 1 through September 30 of 2018 is due to the Universal Service Administrative Company on or before May 1, 2018.
Carriers and providers do not have to submit the Form 499-Q if they are not required to contribute directly to the universal service support mechanisms.

As a reminder, Form 499-Q filers are required to submit the form electronically through USAC’s E-File system, available at www.usac.org/about/tools/e-file.aspx/.
Form 480: Quarterly Rural Call Completion Data Filing
Providers of long-distance voice service that make the initial long-distance call path choice for more than 100,000 domestic retail subscriber lines must submit the FCC Form 480, on a quarterly basis, to provide information regarding the delivery of calls to Rural Local Exchange Carriers. Covered providers may include local exchange carriers, interexchange carriers, commercial mobile radio service providers, and providers of interconnected and non-interconnected VoIP services. The line count is determined by considering the total of all business and residential fixed subscriber lines and mobile phones and aggregated over all of the providers’ affiliates. The reported information is used by the FCC to identify possible areas for further inquiry.
The quarterly form, reporting data for January 1, 2018 – March 31, 2018, is due on May 1, 2018. The Form 480 filing must be completed, using downloaded reporting templates, and submitted online through the FCC’s web-based interface, available here: https://apps.fcc.gov/etfs/rcc/home.action. (Note that an FRN is required to access the system.)
