Oct. 8, 1999) (Universal Service Remand Order). The forms released in this Public Notice should be completed only by a universal service contributor whose interstate enduser telecommunications revenues constituted less than 8 percent of the contributor's combined interstate and international enduser telecommunications revenues in 1998 and/or 1999. On July 30, 1999, a threejudge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Fifth Circuit) in Texas Office of Public Utility Counsel v. FCC, 183 F.3d 393 (5th Cir. 1999) concluded, among other things, that the Commission's decision in the Universal Service Order to assess universal service contributions on the international revenues of interstate carriers could result in inequitable and discriminatory treatment of some carriers. The Fifth Circuit, therefore, reversed and remanded this issue to the Commission for further consideration. In the Universal Service Remand Order, the Commission adopted changes to its universal service rules to comply with the decision of the Fifth Circuit in Texas Office of Public Utility Counsel v. FCC. Specifically, the Commission amended its rules to permit providers of interstate telecommunications services whose interstate enduser telecommunications revenues account for less than 8 percent of their combined interstate and international enduser telecommunications revenues to contribute to universal service only on the basis of their interstate enduser telecommunications revenues. Such providers will not be required to contribute on the basis of their international enduser telecommunications revenues. This rule change will become effective on November 1, 1999. Because providers reported their interstate and international enduser telecommunications revenues as a combined amount on the Universal Service Worksheet (FCC Form 457) and the Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (FCC Form 499S), the Commission does not have revenue data for contributors that separately lists their interstate and international revenues. Although the Worksheet that carriers will submit in April 2000 (FCC Form 499A) will be revised to provide for separate reporting of contributors' interstate and international revenues, the currently available Worksheet does not permit the universal service Administrator, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), to determine which contributors qualify for the international revenues exception adopted by the Commission in the Universal Service Remand Order. Accordingly, in that Order the Commission adopted, subject to the approval of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), two amendment forms to enable contributors to amend their March 1999 and September 1999 Worksheets. OMB approved these forms on October 19, 1999. Contributors that qualify for the international revenues exception adopted in the Universal Service Remand Order must file with USAC amendments to their March 1999 FCC Form 457 and September 1999 FCC Form 499S Worksheets, as provided in the attached forms, by December 1, 1999 , identifying the amount and percentages of the contributors' interstate and international revenues. Only a contributor whose interstate enduser telecommunications revenues constituted less than 8 percent of the contributor's combined interstate and international revenues in 1998 and/or 1999 should submit the attached forms. Copies of the attached forms and instructions may be downloaded from the Commission's Forms Web Page, www.fcc.gov/formpage.html. Copies also may be obtained by calling the faxondemand line at (202) 4182830 and selecting document retrieval number 0004571 for the FCC Form 457(M) and document retrieval number 0004993 for the FCC Form 499S(M). Finally, copies may be obtained from the Universal Service Administrative Company at (973) 5604400.
