NTCA filed on July 6, 2020 opposing a FCC proposal to require rural carriers to detariff SLC and ARC end-user charges and shift the cost recovery those rate elements represent to the intrastate jurisdiction and local service rates. NTCA noted that the proposal would cause substantial consumer confusion and is premised on the faulty notion that rural carriers can easily shift, or even shift at all, the cost recovery involved here to the intrastate jurisdiction.
