Sec. 54.707  Audit controls.

    The Administrator shall have authority to audit contributors and 
carriers reporting data to the administrator. The Administrator shall 
establish procedures to verify discounts, offsets, and support amounts 
provided by the universal service support programs, and may suspend or 
delay discounts, offsets, and support amounts provided to a carrier if 
the carrier fails to provide adequate verification of discounts, 
offsets, or support amounts provided upon reasonable request, or if 
directed by the Commission to do so. The Administrator shall not provide 
reimbursements, offsets or support amounts pursuant to part 36 and 
Sec. 69.116 through 69.117 of this chapter, and subparts D, E, and G of 
this part to a carrier until the carrier has provided to the 
Administrator a true and correct copy of the decision of a state 
commission designating that carrier as an eligible telecommunications 
carrier in accordance with Sec. 54.201.
