Sec. 69.105  Carrier common line.

    (a) A charge that is expressed in dollars and cents per access 
minute of use shall be assessed upon all interexchange carriers that use 
local exchange common line facilities for the provision of interstate or 
foreign telecommunications services, except that the charge shall not be 
assessed upon interexchange carriers to the extent they resell MTS or 
MTS-type services of other common carriers (OCCs).

    (7) The Carrier Common Line charges of telephone companies that are 
subject to price cap regulation as that term is defined in Sec. 61.3(v) 
of this chapter, shall be computed at the level of Carrier Common Line 
access element aggregation selected by such telephone companies, subject 
to Sec. 69.3(e)(7). For each such Carrier Common Line access element 
tariff, the premium originating Carrier Common Line charge shall be one 
cent per minute. The premium terminating Carrier Common Line charge 
shall be set at a level that, when aggregated with the one cent 
originating charge and the non-premium originating and terminating 
carrier common line charges, shall not cause the aggregate carrier 
common line charge for the common line basket to exceed the capped 
charge computed pursuant to Sec. 61.46(d) for that basket. The non-
premium charges shall be equal to .45 multiplied by the premium charges.
    (8) If the calculations described in paragraph (b)(7) of this 
section result in a per minute charge on premium terminating minutes 
that is less than one cent, the originating and terminating charges 
shall be equal, and set at a level that does not cause the aggregate 
carrier common line charge for the common line basket to exceed the 
capped charge computed pursuant to Sec. 61.46(d). The non-premium 
charges shall be equal to .45 multiplied by the premium charge.
