Sec. 36.124 Tandem switching equipment—Category 2.
(a) Tandem switching equipment is contained in Accounts 2210, 2211, and
2212. It includes all switching equipment in a tandem central office,
including any associated tandem switchboard positions and any intertoll
switching equipment. Intertoll switching equipment includes switching
equipment used for the interconnection of message toll telephone circuits
with each other or with local or tandem telephone central office trunks,
intertoll dial selector equipment, or intertoll trunk equipment in No. 5
type electronic offices. Equipment, including switchboards used for
recording of calling telephone numbers and other billing information in
connection with customer dialed charge traffic is included with Local
Switching Equipment—Category 3.
(1) At toll center toll offices, intertoll switching equipment comprises
equipment in the toll office used in the interconnection of: Toll center to
toll center circuits; toll center to tributary circuits; tributary to
tributary circuits; toll center to tandem circuits or in the interconnection
of the aforementioned types of circuits with trunks to local offices in the
toll center city, i.e., interconnection with toll switching trunks, operator
trunks, information trunks, testing trunks, etc. Equipment associated with
the local office end of such trunks is included with local switching
equipment or switchboard categories as appropriate.
(2) At tributary offices, this category includes intertoll switching
equipment similar to that at toll center toll offices if it is used in the
interconnection of: Tributary to tributary circuits; tributary to
subtributary circuits; subtributary to subtributary circuits; toll center to
subtributary circuits; or if it is used jointly in the interconnection of
any of the aforementioned types of circuits and in the interconnection of
such toll circuits with trunk circuits for the handling of traffic
terminating in the tributary office. Where comparable equipment has no joint
use but is used only for the handling of traffic terminating in the
tributary office, it is included in the local switching equipment category.
(3) At all switching entities, this category includes intertoll switching
equipment similar to that at toll center toll offices if it is used in the
interconnection of switched private line trunks or TWX switching plant
trunks when these functions are in addition to the message telephone
switching function. Switching entities wholly dedicated to switching of
special services are assigned to Category 3—Local Switching Equipment.
(b) The costs of central office equipment items assigned this category are
to be directly assigned when possible. When direct assignment is not
possible the costs shall be apportioned among the operations on the basis of
the relative number of study area minutes of use of this equipment.
(c) Effective July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2006, study areas subject to
price cap regulation, pursuant to Sec. 61.41 of this chapter, shall assign the
average balances of Accounts 2210, 2211, and 2212 to Category 2, Tandem
Switching Equipment based on the relative percentage assignment of the
average balances of Account 2210, 2211, 2212, and 2215 to Category 2, Tandem
Switching Equipment during the twelve month period ending December 31, 2000.
(d) Effective July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2006, all study areas shall
apportion costs in Category 2, Tandem Switching Equipment, among the
jurisdictions using the relative number of study area minutes of use, as
specified in Sec. 36.124(b), for the twelve month period ending December 31,
2000. Direct assignment of any subcategory of Category 2 Tandem Switching
Equipment between jurisdictions shall be updated annually.
