Ariz. Admin. Code § R14-2-A1214 - Enforcement of Collection of Delinquent AUSF Amounts
A. The Administrator shall issue past due
notices to each provider of telecommunications service that is 15 days or more
delinquent in submitting its AUSF payments to the Administrator. A copy of this
notice shall be provided to the Commission.
B. AUSF support payments shall be withheld
from any provider of telecommunications service that is delinquent in
submitting its AUSF payments to the Administrator. Each provider of
telecommunications service will be fully liable for any accrued interest owing
on its AUSF contributions that remain unpaid for 30 days. Such delinquent AUSF
payments will begin accruing interest at the rate of 1 and 1/2% per month
beginning with the 31st day until such amount is paid in full along with all
accrued interest.
C. The local
switched access service provider shall promptly notify the Commission and the
Administrator of the identity of any wireless provider which fails or refuses
to pay its AUSF surcharge. Such notice shall also be directed to the wireless
provider. If the wireless provider has not paid the amount due within 30 days
of such notice, the interconnection provider shall terminate the wireless
provider's interconnection until the full amount together with all accrued
interest, is paid in full (unless the payment is in bonafide dispute and the
wireless carrier has paid the undisputed amount).
D. Failure by a telecommunications service
provider to comply with the provisions of this Article may result in sanctions
as determined by the Commission.
