Specifically, Verizon seeks authority to treat these costs as exogenous costs under section 61.45(d) of the Commission's rules ``and to recover those costs through a small addition to its end-user common line charge (``EUCL'').'' Verizon asserts that it satisfies the Commission's standard for exogenous cost relief ``because the unrecovered LNP costs are the result of a government mandate, were beyond Verizon's control, and are not accounted for in Verizon's price cap formula.''

We measure the earnings of price cap carriers by comparing revenues to interstate allocated costs. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 61.45(c), 65.702, & 69.104.

In the 1993-96 Annual Access Order, the Commission rejected Bell Atlantic's and Pacific Bell's contention that end-user common line (EUCL) revenues may be excluded for purposes of allocating sharing amounts among price cap baskets. Section 61.45(d)(4) of the Commission's Rules provides that exogenous cost changes should be allocated among price cap baskets on a cost-causative basis. The Commission found that, when LECs use basket revenues as a proxy for costs, excluding EUCL revenues from the common line basket would distort the use of these revenues as a proxy for costs because total revenues would not be

AT&T and WorldCom further claim that the LECs' proposed exogenous adjustment is not permitted by section 61.45(d) of the Commission's rules without a rulemaking, rule waiver, or declaratory ruling. AT&T argues that Commission rules prohibit exogenous cost increases designed to implement accounting changes that do not reflect ``economic cost changes.'' AT&T also asserts that the D.C.

Under the price cap rules, an incumbent LEC that fails to earn a specified minimum rate of return, currently set at 10.25 percent, may make a one-time adjustment to increase its rates to obtain that minimum return. 47 C.F.R. § 61.45(d)(1)(vii). An exogenous adjustment allows a carrier to increase its prices to recover costs imposed on it by governmental or administrative action beyond its control. Through an above-cap filing, a carrier could establish higher rates than would normally be permitted under price caps, if it provided cost support that justified higher rates. Increased depreciation expense could be a significant component of

  • "X-Factor" is used to make annual adjustments to the price cap index to reflect the margin by which a carrier subject to price cap regulation is expected to improve its productivity relative to the economy as a whole. See 47 C.F.R. § 61.3(z). Currently, the X- Factor imposed on LECs subject to price cap regulation is 6.5 percent. See Section 61.45(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 61.45(b)(1). 303 In LEC price cap regulation, baskets and service categories are designed to prevent LECs from shifting costs between services of different price elasticities of demand.

Consistent with our precedent and in accordance with section 61.45, we require Verizon to adjust its price cap indices to reflect the removal of the transferred access lines from its Alabama,

Accordingly, we require Iowa Telecom to adjust its price cap indices to reflect the removal of the transferred access lines from its Iowa Telecom-Systems study area. Finally, on May 11, 2001, the

In the 1993-96 Annual Access Order, the Commission rejected Bell Atlantic's and Pacific Bell's contention that end-user common line (EUCL) revenues may be excluded for purposes of allocating sharing amounts among price cap baskets. Section 61.45(d)(4) of the Commission's Rules provides that exogenous cost changes should be allocated among price cap baskets on a cost-causative basis. The Commission found that, when LECs use basket revenues as a proxy for costs, excluding EUCL revenues from the common line basket would distort the use of these revenues as a proxy for costs because total revenues would not be

AT&T argues that Commission rules prohibit exogenous cost increases designed to implement accounting changes that do not reflect ``economic cost changes.'' AT&T also asserts that the D.C.

At that time, we can make a determination if the transaction raises concerns that we sought to address in section 61.41(c)(2).

In accordance with section 61.45 of the Commission's rules, we also require Valor to adjust its price cap indices to reflect the removal of the transferred access lines from its New Mexico study area.

We believe that providing this exception will expedite the process for those carriers by eliminating the need for waiver requests to calculate new factors following conversion. Exogenous Cost Changes Section 61.45 of the Commission's rules allows carriers subject to federal price cap regulation to adjust their price cap indices (PCIs) for ``exogenous cost changes'' to ensure that their PCIs accurately reflect all exogenous cost changes that may have taken place before the annual tariff filing. The types of exogenous cost changes allowed are limited to those cost changes that the Commission
