Sections 36.611 and 36.612 of the Commission's rules. This waiver would permit  xFremont to receive universal service fund ("USF") support retroactively from January 1, 1997,  xbased on estimated costs to be trued up when actual costs are known. Fremont began service  xNovember 15, 1996 after acquiring three rural Idaho exchanges from U S WEST Communications, Inc. pursuant to a study area waiver granted on August 29, 1996.  "Under our existing rules, eligibility for USF support payment is determined on the basis  xof historical cost data. For example, 1997 USF support is based on 1995 cost data. Fremont  xstates that immediate USF support is critical to its ability to maintain and upgrade telephone  xservice to an acceptable level of quality and to bring service to unserved customers in a timely  xmanner. Fremont states that as a new exchange carrier, it does not have any historical cost data  xupon which to base current USF distributions in accordance with the Commission rules which  xAare applicable in the absence of the requested relief. Fremont maintains that without the  x"requested relief, its ability to improve the quality of service provided to its customers or to even maintain its outdated and failing plant, is in jeopardy.  X 4 "Interested parties may file comments on the petition on or before May 19, 1997 , and reply  Xm!4 xcomments on or before May 30, 1997 , with the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission,  x+1919 M Street, N.W., Room 222, Washington, D.C. 20554. Comments and reply comments  xshould reference AAD 9756. Four (4) copies should also be sent to Adrian Wright, Competitive  x Safeguards Branch, Common Carrier Bureau, Room 257, 2000 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.  xp20554, and one (1) copy should be sent to the Commission's contractor for public service record  x~duplication: International Transcription Service (ITS), 2100 M Street, N.W., Suite 140,  xWashington, D.C. 20037. Copies of the petition may be obtained from the Accounting and  xEAudits Division's public reference room, Room 812, 2000 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
