On February 13, 2013, the Commission approved Resolution T-17386, which further increased the surcharge rate on end-user bills from 0.14% to 0.164%. The increase in surcharge rate to 0.164% was necessary in order to collect the authorized $25 million per year. On February 27, 2014, the Commission approved Resolution T-17434, which revised the surcharge from 0.164% to 0.464% on end-user bills. The increase in surcharge rate was necessary in order to meet new requirements imposed on the program by SB 740 and AB 1299. Resolution T-17434 further provides that an amount greater than the $25 million cap may be if the collection did not result in an increase in the total amount of all surcharges collected from telephone customers that year. On October 13, 2016, the Commission approved Resolution T-17536, which revised the CASF surcharge rate on end-user bills from 0.464% to 0.00%. The reduction in surcharge rate was necessary in order to avoid exceeding the maximum collection authorized by SB 740, which was $315 million.
