The bureau also reviews telecommunications carrier tariff filings, applications for interconnection and certificates of registration, and Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (ETC) petitions and filings; collects carrier and utility and inspection and supervision fees; and participates as a non-voting member of the New Mexico State Rural Universal Service Fund Advisory Board.
