TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY
SERVICE SURCHARGE
May 27, 2020
On April 21, 1993, Governor Edward
T. Schafer approved House Bill No.
1028 that established a program to
provide specialized telecommunica-
tions services and equipment to the
communications impaired. The re-
lay services program is funded by an
access line surcharge paid by the
customers of local exchange com-
panies and radio communications
service providers. The relay services
program is administered by the In-
formation Technology Department of
the State of North Dakota. Before
June 1 of each year, the Public Ser-
vice Commission calculates the
amount of the surcharge based on
cost data and other information pro-
vided by the Information Technology

calculated the 2020-2021 surcharge
to be included in bills to customers is
$.03 per access line per month.
