a) 1 cent shall be retained by the providers to cover their cost of collecting, handling and processing the service charge.

c) Thirty percent (30%) of the 99 cents, or 29.70 cents, shall be identified for use to reimburse service suppliers for expenses as specified in the applicable sections of state law to meet FCC mandates and to pay Board expenses. Board expenses shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the thirty percent (30%) of the 99 cents or .594 cents. Thus, the remaining 29.106 cents will be available to reimburse service suppliers.
