Sec. 69.105 Carrier common line for non-price cap local exchange carriers.
(a) This section is applicable only to local exchange carriers that are not
subject to price cap regulation as that term is defined in Sec. 61.3(ee) of this
chapter. Until June 30, 2003, a charge that is expressed in dollars and
cents per line 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).
(b)(1) For purposes of this section and Sec. 69.113:
(i) A carrier or other person shall be deemed to receive premium access if
access is provided through a local exchange switch that has the capability
to provide access for an MTS-WATS equivalent service that is substantially
equivalent to the access provided for MTS or WATS, except that access
provided for an MTS-WATS equivalent service that does not use such
capability shall not be deemed to be premium access until six months after
the carrier that provides such MTS-WATS equivalent service receives actual
notice that such equivalent access is or will be available at such switch;
(ii) The term open end of a call describes the origination or termination of
a call that utilizes exchange carrier common line plant (a call can have no,
one, or two open ends); and
(iii) All open end minutes on calls with one open end (e.g., an 800 or FX
call) shall be treated as terminating minutes.
(2) For association Carrier Common Line tariff participants:
(i) The premium originating Carrier Common Line charge shall be one cent per
minute, except as described in Sec. 69.105(b)(3), and
(ii) The premium terminating Carrier Common Line charge shall be computed as
follows:
(A) For each telephone company subject to price cap regulation, multiply the
company's proposed premium originating rate by a number equal to the sum of
the premium originating base period minutes and a number equal to 0.45
multiplied by the non-premium originating base period minutes of that
telephone company;
(B) For each telephone company subject to price cap regulation, multiply the
company's proposed premium terminating rate by a number equal to the sum of
the premium terminating base period minutes and a number equal to 0.45
multiplied by the non-premium terminating base period minutes of that
telephone company;
(C) Sum the numbers computed in paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) (A) and (B) of this
section for all companies subject to price cap regulation;
(D) From the number computed in paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(C) of this section,
subtract a number equal to one cent times the sum of the premium originating
base period minutes and a number equal to 0.45 multiplied by the non-premium
originating base period minutes of all telephone companies subject to price
cap regulation, and;
(E) Divide the number computed in paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(D) of this section by
the sum of the premium terminating base period minutes and a number equal to
0.45 multiplied by the non-premium terminating base period minutes of all
telephone companies subject to price cap regulation.
(3) If the calculations described in Sec. 69.105(b)(2) result in a per minute
charge on premium terminating minutes that is less than once cent, both the
originating and terminating premium charges for the association CCL tariff
participants shall be computed by dividing the number computed in paragraph
(b)(2)(ii)(C) of this section by a number equal to the sum of the premium
originating and terminating base period minutes and a number equal to 0.45
multiplied by the sum of the non-premium originating and terminating base
period minutes of all telephone companies subject to price cap regulation.
(4) The Carrier Common Line charges of telephone companies that are not
association Carrier Common Line tariff participants shall be computed at the
level of Carrier Common Line access element aggregation selected by such
telephone companies pursuant to Sec. 69.3(e)(7). For each such Carrier Common
Line access element tariff—
(i) The premium originating Carrier Common Line charge shall be one cent per
minute, and
(ii) The premium terminating Carrier Common Line charge shall be computed by
subtracting the projected revenues generated by the originating Carrier
Common Line charges (both premium and non-premium) from the Carrier Common
Line revenue requirement for the companies participating in that tariff, and
dividing the remainder by the sum of the projected premium terminating
minutes and a number equal to .45 multiplied by the projected non-premium
terminating minutes for such companies.
(5) If the calculations described in Sec. 69.105(b)(4) result in a per minute
charge on premium terminating minutes that is less than one cent, both the
originating and terminating premium charges for the companies participating
in said Carrier Common Line tariff shall be computed by dividing the
projected Carrier Common Line revenue requirement for such companies by the
sum of the projected premium minutes and a number equal to .45 multiplied by
the projected non-premium minutes for such companies.
(6) Telephone companies that are not association Carrier Common Line tariff
participants shall submit to the Commission and to the association whatever
data the Commission shall determine are necessary to calculate the charges
described in this section.
(c) Any interexchange carrier shall receive a credit for Carrier Common Line
charges to the extent that it resells services for which these charges have
already been assessed (e.g., MTS or MTS-type service of other common
carriers).
(d) From July 1, 2002, to June 30, 2003, the carrier common line charge
calculations pursuant to this section shall be limited to an amount equal to
the number of projected residential and single-line business lines
multiplied by the difference between the residential and single-line
business End User Common Line rate cap and the lesser of $6.50 or the
non-price cap local exchange carrier's average cost per line.
