Federal Subscriber Line Charge (Subscriber Line Charge, SLC)

Regulated and capped by the Federal Communications Commission. It is not a charge by the government, it is not a tax. The number of calls you place or receive does not affect it. The money is paid to local telephone companies and will be charged to your local phone bill. The SLC fee pays local phone companies some of the costs of telephone lines connected to your home or business. Similar to the PIC-C.
