PAYPHONE REVENUE AND ASSESSMENT REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
WYOMING UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND
3 If your company realizes revenue from payphones in Wyoming, then this should help explain the requirement
to report Wyoming retail revenue and to make contributions to the Wyoming Universal Service Fund ("WUSF").
The revised Payphone Company Revenue and Assessment Report will better facilitate your reporting of
Wyoming revenue, claiming any credit due for WUSF assessment paid by your company to its local exchange
carrier(s), and paying the net WUSF assessment.
3 All payphone companies realizing intrastate revenue from operations in Wyoming are required to report such
gross revenue to the universal service fund manager, and to pay into the universal service fund the assessment
amount calculated by multiplying the company’s total intrastate retail revenue by the applicable assessment rate.
The assessment rate has been 4% since July 1, 2001.
3 In connection with your company's purchase of any PALs in Wyoming, your company may be paying some
WUSF assessment. If you do pay the WUSF assessment to any local exchange carrier(s) in connection with your
purchase of PALs, then as a setoff against your company's WUSF assessment liability, you may claim a non-
refundable credit equal to the amount of the WUSF assessment actually paid by your company for the same
reporting period. In determining whether or not you may claim such a credit, please keep the following important
points in mind:
1. If you purchase PALs from more than one local exchange carrier, please carefully
review all billings from your local carriers separately; it is possible that some
local carriers are charging the WUSF assessment on PALs, while others are not.
Also, it is possible that a local exchange carrier's billing practice with respect to
the WUSF assessment has changed or may change over time.
2. If you do claim a credit for WUSF assessment paid on your PALs, we reserve the
right to ask you to show us adequate proof in support of the amount of credit
claimed.
3. Please be careful to distinguish between the federal and the Wyoming universal
service fund assessments; you cannot claim a credit for any federal universal
service fund assessment paid by you.
3Please remember that the credit is only for the amount of WUSF assessment paid by you, and not for any other
costs paid by you associated with the line. For example, if the total cost for your PALs in the first calendar
quarter of 2002 was $400, and included in that total was $14.40 of total WUSF assessments charged by the
carrier(s) on the PALs, then your credit for WUSF paid is $14.40 (not $400).
3 If you wish to claim a credit against WUSF assessments which you have previously paid to us, you may use the
WUSF 1P form to file an amended report (check the box marked "Amended report" in the upper right-hand
corner of the report form). If you need to file any WUSF reports to catch-up your reporting obligations, please do
so as soon as possible.
You are always welcome to call us if you have any questions whatsoever.
