ERRATUM
Released: June 22, 2016
By the Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director:
On April 27, 2016, the Commission released a Third Report and Order, Further Report and Order, 
and Order on Reconsideration (“the Order”), FCC 16-38, in the above-captioned proceeding.  On May 6, 
2016, the Wireline Competition Bureau released an Erratum amending the Order.  This Erratum amends 
the corrected version of the Order, published in the FCC Record book at 31 FCC Rcd 3962 (2016), as 
indicated below:
Paragraph 284, on page 4067, is corrected to read as follows:
“284. We find that this process for prospective LBPs protects the integrity of the Lifeline 
program and guards against waste, fraud, and abuse, while facilitating market entry and encouraging 
competition. All LBPs, regardless of whether they qualify for streamlined treatment, must meet the
requirements for designation as a Lifeline-only ETC established in section 214(e) of the Act and section
54.201 and 54.202 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission will examine all petitions for
designation as an LBP to ensure that petitioning carriers meet the requirements in the Act and the
Commission’s implementing rules. The Commission will use its authority to deny petitions, remove
petitions from streamlined treatment, or both, if the circumstances so require. Additionally, LBPs must
comply with the Lifeline program rules and will be subject to auditing and enforcement in accordance
with the Commission’s rules.”
