Current Activities • Monthly Billing and Collections Oversight • Monthly Evaluation of Deliverables • Budget and Contribution Factor Preparation • 2008 Meeting Schedule B&C WG
Contribution Factor • The first scenario uses up the entire anticipated fund surplus at June 30, 2008 of $2,730,440 The US carriers would be required to fund $2,696,120 with a funding factor of 0.0000114. This option leaves only the $1,000,000 in the surplus account which is the contingency provision. • The second scenario is designed to arrive at a contribution factor of 0.0000165. This scenario reduces the surplus by $1,531,477. The total contribution by the US carriers would be $3,895,084. There would be $1,198,963 excess surplus that could be carried forward to subsidize contributions in the future. • The third scenario is designed to arrive at a contribution factor of 0.0000193, the same as last year. This scenario reduces the surplus by $870,493. The total contribution by the US carriers would be $4,556,068. There would be $1,859,947 excess surplus that could be carried forward to subsidize contributions in the future. • Consensus, although not unanimous, was reached for option number 2 above. B&C WG
