Order Shifting Universal Service Oversight
In Order FCC 06-89, the Commission amended the rules to align oversight of the Universal Service Fund ("USF") with the responsibilities of the Office of the Inspector General ("OIG") and the Office of the Managing Director ("OMD"). The Commission assigned certain audit activities formerly assigned to the Wireline Competition Bureau, including oversight of the annual Part 54 audit of the Universal Service Administrative Corporation ("USAC"), to the OIG, and assigned calculation of the quarterly USF contribution factor to OMD. The Commission stated that the changes better align those USF oversight functions with the divisions within the Commission that can execute them most effectively.
