(d) A statement under penalty of perjury from a company officer of the provider with personal knowledge and responsibility certifying that, during the preceding year, the provider materially complied with all commission rules in chapter 480-120 WAC that are applicable to the provider and its provision of service within the area for which the provider received program support;

(e) Complete copies of the FCC Form 477 for the state of Washington that the provider filed with the Federal Communications Commission during and for the calendar year in which the provider receives support at the same time the provider submits those forms to the Federal Communications Commission; if the provider does not submit FCC Form 477 to the Federal Communications Commission, the provider must file with the commission the same information required to complete that form at the same time carriers that file FCC Form 477 are required to submit that form;

(f) A report on operational efficiencies and business plan modifications for the area for which the provider receives program support during the preceding year that the provider has undertaken to transition or expand from primary provision of legacy voice telephone service to broadband service or otherwise reduce its reliance on support from the program, and whether and how disbursements from the program were used to accomplish such outcomes;

(h) Any other information or reports the commission requires including, but not limited to, information the commission needs to provide a report to the legislature concerning the program.

(2) Wireless communications provider reports. The advisory board will make a recommendation to the commission on the information and reports that any wireless communications provider that receives support from the program should provide, and the commission will determine the information and reports that provider must provide consistent with RCW 80.36.650 and commission rules.

(3) Information already on file with the commission. To the extent that the provider has filed any of the information required under this rule in conjunction with its application for certification as an eligible telecommunications carrier, the provider need not include that same information in its report so long as the provider identifies the docket number, documents, and location within those documents in which the provider included that information.

(4) Comments from stakeholders. Interested persons may submit information or comments on any of the issues on which the providers must report under this rule. Persons must submit such information or comments by July 1st of the year following each calendar year in which the commission distributes program support.
