The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau is seeking comment on a petition for declaratory ruling filed by The Commpliance Group, Inc. which seeks a clarification of the FCC’s universal service fund (USF) contribution rules. The Commpliance Group describes itself as a regulatory, tax and corporate compliance consulting firm catering to a diverse range of service providers, including systems integrators serving consumers of enterprise class communications and information technology services. In its petition, The Commpliance Group requests that the FCC clarify that the systems integrators exemption to USF contribution obligations applies to the resale or provision of interconnected VoIP services when resold or provisioned by a systems integrator. Comments on the petition are due on or before April 24, 2015, and reply comments are due May 11, 2015.
