Oregon Universal Service Fund - Worksheet 2 (OUS2)

Block 1: List revenue information for the 3-month period beginning and ending as indicated. A check-list is provided to indicate whether the revenue data is original or revised. The company identification number shown in the upper right corner allows revenue information to be matched with telecommunications service provider (TSP) identification information provided on the OUS1 Worksheet. 

 

Block 2: Record gross billed Oregon revenues from all sources, including non-regulated and non-telecommunications services, with no allowances for uncollectible on lines 1-27. Gross billed revenues are revenues derived from services provided in Oregon (includes intrastate, interstate, and international) even though the physical billing address may be out of state. Record net settlements (i.e., the difference between booked revenues and gross billed revenues due to international settlements, National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) access pool settlements, etc.) on line 28. Record out-of-period adjustments on line 29. Record the total gross revenue amount, reflecting the sum of billed revenues, net settlements, and out-of-period adjustments, on line 31. This value should equal the gross booked revenue amount as recorded on the TSP’s financial statement before uncollectible.

 

Record revenues in two columns - Total Oregon Revenues (Column A) and Oregon Intrastate Revenue (Column B). The jurisdictional identification of the revenues should be consistent with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) separation rules in Title 47 CFR 36.201-225. In general, Oregon intrastate revenues are derived from telecommunications services that originate and terminate within the state regardless of how the communication is routed.

 

Billed revenues from services provided to other TSPs, who in turn contribute to the OUSF (i.e., wholesale revenues), are recorded on lines 1-11. Record billed revenues from services provided to end users and non-OUSF contributors (i.e., retail revenues) on lines 12-20. Line 20, billed revenue from end users and non-OUSF contributors) is the basis for the OUSF contributions. Other revenues that are excluded from the OUSF contribution base are recorded on lines 21-30. Record revenues from services provided to other TSPs, who in turn contribute to the OUSF (i.e., wholesale revenues), on lines 1-11. Billed revenues from services provided to end users and non-OUSF contributors (i.e., retail revenues) are recorded on lines 12-20. Line 20, billed revenue from end users and non-OUSF contributors) is the basis for the OUSF contributions. Record other revenues that are excluded from the OUSF contribution base on lines 21-30.

 

To allow the contributor to determine the amount owed to the OUSF, copy the retail revenue amount from line 20 onto line 31. The contribution rate for the revenue period is provided on line 32. Multiplying lines 31 and 32 gives the contribution amount to be recorded on line 33. Pay this amount to the OUSF Administrator by the date noted on the bottom of the worksheet (typically the 28th of the month after the close of the recovery quarter). 

 

 

All revenues shown in lines 1-11 are wholesale revenues derived from services, functions, or equipment provided to other Oregon TSPs who in turn incorporate these elements into their own telecommunications services subject to OUSF contributions. These wholesale revenues also include benefits received from the state and federal universal service funds.
