National Exchange Carrier Association

National Exchange Carrier Association

The National Exchange Carrier Association is a not-for-profit association created in 1984 by telecommunications companies to administer the fees that long distance companies pay to access local telephone networks. After the Telecommunication Act of 1996, NECA became indirectly responsible for the Universal Service Fund (USF) programs through its subsidiary corporation the Universal Service Administrative Company. It also manages the national Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) fund, which, though considerably smaller than the USF, is also sustained through long-distance telephone service carrier revenues.
