Universal Service Fund (USF) Support Surcharge Residential (per line) $ TBD 4.88 Business (per line) $ TBD 3.52 APPENDIX D PRICES B RATES AND CHARGES FOR UNBUNDLED NETWORK ELEMENTS General. The rates contained in this Appendix D are the rates as defined in Article VII and are subject to change resulting from future Commission or other proceedings, including but not limited to any generic proceeding to determine GTE's unrecovered costs (e.g., historic costs, contribution, undepreciated reserve deficiency, or similar unrecovered GTE costs (including GTE's interim Service Support Surcharge)), the establishment of a competitively neutral universal service system, or any appeal or other litigation. GTE will offer unbundled loops and ports under the following conditions: GTE assesses a separate interim universal service fund surcharge for loops and ports to provide continued universal service support that is implicit in GTE’s current retail services prices; and to respect the careful distinctions Congress has drawn between access to UNEs, on the one hand, and the purchase at wholesale rates of GTE services on the other. This surcharge is being addressed (or will be addressed) by the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that GTE will offer the port and loop UNEs at the rates set forth below in Appendix D without the interim surcharge, but subject to the following terms and conditions:911/E-911 ARRANGEMENTS
