INTRODUCTION We set forth herein the Tariff Review Plans (TRPs) that all incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) must file to support the annual revisions to the rates in their interstate access service tariffs. The completion of the TRPs appended to this document will partially fulfill the requirements established in sections 61.41 through 61.49 of the Commission's rules. The TRPs display basic data on rate development in a consistent manner, thereby facilitating review of the ILEC rate revisions by the Commission and interested parties. The annual TRPs have served this purpose effectively in past years. Rate-of-return ILECs subject to section 61.39 of the Commission's rules are required to file access service tariff

  • LEC Beehive has the option of filing tariffs for traffic-sensitive interstate access charges under rules different from those that apply to larger LECs. See 47 C.F.R. 61.39(a). In addition, while the largest LECs--the regional Bell Operating Companies and GTE--must calculate their tariffs under the Commission's price cap regulations, Beehive can and did opt for rate of return regulation. See id. 61.41(a)(3); see also United States Tel. Ass'n v. FCC, ___ F.3d ____, 1999 WL 317035, at *1 (D.C. Cir. May 21, 1999). On July 22, 1997 Beehive filed a new tariff changing its interstate access charge. That charge has three components--a per-minute local transport termination charge, a per-minute local switching charge, and a per-minute per-mile charge for local transport facilities--each of

  • Framework For years the FCC imposed traditional rate of return regulation on the LECs. Beginning in 1990, however, the FCC substituted "price cap" regulation for the largest LECs. See Nat'l Rural Telecom Ass'n, 988 F.2d at 178-79. Price cap regulation imposes a "cap" on aggregate prices charged by LECs for certain services in a given area. See 47 C.F.R. �� 61.41-.49. For the purposes of setting the caps, services are grouped in various "baskets." See 47 C.F.R. � 61.42(d). These are the common line basket, traffic-sensitive basket, trunking basket, and special access basket, the latter two of which are at issue in this case. LECs are also required to charge averaged (i.e., uniform) rates in given service areas, absent substantial cost

Comments Verizon notes that the Commission's rules require dominant carriers to file tariffs, and to provide detailed cost support, traffic and revenue projections, and two sets of work papers. Verizon contends, however, that today's competitive marketplace will ensure that carriers are satisfactorily meeting customer demands without those requirements. Specifically, Verizon asserts that sections 61.41 to 61.49 of the Commission's rules, if read strictly, would subject its ``in-region, interLATA services to price cap regulation, if it decides to offer long distance or all-distance services on a more integrated and efficient basis post-272 sunset.''

Removing the IXC price cap rules, however, requires revising the incumbent LEC price cap rules that cross-reference the IXC price cap rules. Accordingly, we invite comment on proposed revisions to Sections 61.41 through 61.49, as set forth in Appendix A. 17.

Removing the IXC price cap rules, however, requires revising the incumbent LEC price cap rules that cross-reference the IXC price cap rules. Accordingly, we invite comment on proposed revisions to Sections 61.41 through 61.49, as set forth in Appendix A. 17.

  • LEC Beehive has the option of filing tariffs for traffic-sensitive interstate access charges under rules different from those that apply to larger LECs. See 47 C.F.R. 61.39(a). In addition, while the largest LECs--the regional Bell Operating Companies and GTE--must calculate their tariffs under the Commission's price cap regulations, Beehive can and did opt for rate of return regulation. See id. 61.41(a)(3); see also United States Tel. Ass'n v. FCC, ___ F.3d ____, 1999 WL 317035, at *1 (D.C. Cir. May 21, 1999). On July 22, 1997 Beehive filed a new tariff changing its interstate access charge. That charge has three components--a per-minute local transport termination charge, a per-minute local switching charge, and a per-minute per-mile charge for local transport facilities--each of

  • Framework For years the FCC imposed traditional rate of return regulation on the LECs. Beginning in 1990, however, the FCC substituted "price cap" regulation for the largest LECs. See Nat'l Rural Telecom Ass'n, 988 F.2d at 178-79. Price cap regulation imposes a "cap" on aggregate prices charged by LECs for certain services in a given area. See 47 C.F.R. �� 61.41-.49. For the purposes of setting the caps, services are grouped in various "baskets." See 47 C.F.R. � 61.42(d). These are the common line basket, traffic-sensitive basket, trunking basket, and special access basket, the latter two of which are at issue in this case. LECs are also required to charge averaged (i.e., uniform) rates in given service areas, absent substantial cost
