Detailed Payment Data
The High Cost detailed payment data tool can be used to search High Cost support paid to eligible telecommunications carriers. The tool provides for multiple search criteria to locate data for any month beginning with November 2011. Payment amounts can be searched by state or Study Area Name, Study Area Code, Year, Month, State, Fund, and 498 ID (formerly known as SPIN ). Multiple criteria can be used to narrow search results.
If searching by Study Area name, please refer to the FCC Filings and use the most recent Appendix HC01 ("High Cost Support Projected by State by Study Area") to find the proper Study Area Name. The Study Area name search queries on exact matches only.
Any required data can be viewed in HTML or Excel and copied and pasted into a worksheet for ease of use. High Cost detailed payment data are updated monthly.
