(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the Senate on March 21, 2017. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Improving Rural Call Quality and Reliability Act of 2017 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require intermediate providers that offer the capability to transmit voice communications and signaling information from one destination to another, and that charge a rate to any other entity (including an affiliated entity) for such a transmission, to: (1) register with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and (2) comply with service quality standards to be established by the FCC. An "intermediate provider" is an entity that: (1) enters a business arrangement with a long-distance voice service provider that makes the initial call path choice for more than 100,000 domestic retail subscriber lines, or with another intermediate provider, to carry, route, or transmit voice traffic from a call placed from or to an end user connection using a North American Numbering Plan resource; and (2) does not itself (directly or in conjunction with an affiliate) serve as such a long-distance initial call path choice provider in the context of originating or terminating a given call. The bill prohibits such long-distance providers (including local exchange carriers, interexchange carriers, commercial mobile radio services, interconnected voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP] services, and certain non-interconnected VoIP services) from using an intermediate provider to transmit voice communications and signals unless the intermediate provider is so registered. The FCC must: (1) ensure the integrity of the transmission of voice communications to all customers in the United States, (2) prevent unjust or unreasonable discrimination among areas of the United States in the delivery of such voice communications, and (3) make a registry of intermediate providers publicly available on the FCC website. The bill shall not be construed to preempt or expand the authority of a state agency or public utility commission to collect data, or enforce state law and regulations, regarding the completion of intrastate voice communications. Certain long-distance providers that make initial call path choices are exempt from service quality standards that the FCC is required to establish under this bill if they certify under a safe harbor provision in existing FCC rules that they monitor the performance of, or do not use, intermediate providers.

Universal Service Fund Reforms: WTA lobbied for fully funding the Universal Service Fund's High Cost Program, both the Alternative Connect America Fund Mechanism (ACAM) and modified Rate of Return mechanism and urged the FCC to direct the Universal Service Administrative Company to continue collecting the full budget for the High Cost program. WTA also lobbied for USF Contributions Reform to require those entities that should be paying into the system but are not to actually do so. This will help sure up the long term fiscal viability of the universal service fund.

Universal Service Fund Reforms: WTA lobbied for fully funding the Universal Service Fund's High Cost Program, both the Alternative Connect America Fund Mechanism (ACAM) and modified Rate of Return mechanism and urged the FCC to direct the Universal Service Administrative Company to continue collecting the full budget for the High Cost program. WTA also lobbied for USF Contributions Reform to require those entities that should be paying into the system but are not to actually do so. This will help sure up the long term fiscal viability of the universal service fund. WTA also lobbied in support of providing broadband incentives for large telecommunications providers to divest themselves of their most rural hard-to-serve areas -- this would enable further broadband deployment in rural areas. H.R. 2870 and S. 1013, Gigabit Opportunity Act -- would provide beneficial tax treatment for broadband deployment in areas deemed "Gigabit Opportunity Zones". S. 96 and H.R. 460, Improving Rural Call Quality and Reliability Act -- seeks to ensure call to rural America are properly completed. H.R. 2520 -- The BROWSER Act, Authorizes the FTC to enforce information privacy protections S. 604 Highway Rights-of-Way Permitting Efficiency Act of 2017 -- legislation would streamline the permitting process for broadband deployment on Federal land Broadband Infrastructure -- Association lobbied in support of ensuring broadband infrastructure is included as part of the larger discussion about rebuilding the nation's infrastructure.

H.R. 3523 and S. 875 -- would require the Comptroller General of the US to conduct a study and submit a report on filing requirements under the Universal Service Fund programs. Lifeline -- Association lobbied in support of its Petition for Reconsideration which, among other things, expresses concerns with the FCC proposal to phase-out voice service under the program and the detrimental affect this would have on rural consumers; the PFR also expresses concerns over the 12-month port freeze which could prevent customers from entering the program if they could be aided by it. E-Rate -- Discussed the program's budget and discussed the association's opposition to using e-rate funds to overbuild existing rural networks that already have broadband connections to schools and libraries.
