The purpose of this Chapter is to set forth the standards that the Commission will apply in designating a Telecommunications Provider as an "Eligible Telecommunications Carrier" (ETC) pursuant to 47 U.S.C §214(e) and annually certifying ETCs pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §54.314. The Commission does not designate as ETCs Telecommunications Providers seeking such designation solely for the purpose of receiving low-income support to provide services such as Lifeline. Telecommunications Providers seeking such designation must apply to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
