§  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 §  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 §  54.201.
