§ 54.902 Calculation of Interstate Common Line Support for transferred
exchanges.
(a) In the event that a rate-of-return carrier acquires exchanges from
an entity that is also a rate-of-return carrier, Interstate Common Line
Support for the transferred exchanges shall be distributed as follows.
(1) Each carrier may report its updated line counts to reflect the
transfer in the next quarterly line count filing pursuant to
§ 54.903(a)(1) that applies to the period in which the transfer
occurred. During a transition period from the filing of the updated
line counts until the end of the funding year, the Administrator shall
adjust the Interstate Common Line Support received by each carrier
based on the updated line counts and the per-line Interstate Common
Line Support, categorized by customer class and, if applicable,
disaggregation zone, of the selling carrier. If the acquiring carrier
does not file a quarterly update of its line counts, it will not
receive Interstate Common Line Support for those lines during the
transition period.
(2) Each carrier's projected data for the following funding year filed
pursuant to § 54.903(a)(3) shall reflect the transfer of exchanges.
(3) Each carrier's actual data filed pursuant to § 54.903(a)(4) shall
reflect the transfer of exchanges. All post-transaction Interstate
Common Line Support shall be subject to true up by the Administrator
pursuant to § 54.903(b)(3).
(b) In the event that a rate-of-return carrier acquires exchanges from
a price cap carrier that are incorporated into one of the
rate-of-return carrier's existing study areas, Interstate Common Line
Support for the transferred exchanges shall be distributed as follows.
(1) The acquiring carrier may report its updated line counts for the
study area into which the acquired lines are incorporated in the next
quarterly line count filing pursuant to § 54.903(a)(1) that applies to
the period in which the transfer occurred. During a transition period
from the filing of the updated line counts until the end of the funding
year, the Administrator shall adjust the Interstate Common Line Support
received by the acquiring carrier based on the updated line counts and
the per-line amounts Interstate Common Line Support for the study area
served by the acquiring carrier. If necessary, the Administrator shall
develop an average per-line support amount to reflect various per-line
amounts in multiple disaggregation zones served by the acquiring
carrier. If the acquiring carrier does not file a quarterly update of
its line counts, it will not receive Interstate Common Line Support for
those lines during the transition period.
(2) The acquiring carrier's projected data for the following funding
year filed pursuant to § 54.903(a)(3) shall reflect the transfer of
exchanges.
(3) The acquiring carrier's actual data filed pursuant to
§ 54.903(a)(4) shall reflect the transfer of exchanges. All
post-transaction Interstate Common Line Support shall be subject to
true up by the Administrator pursuant to § 54.903(b)(3).
(c) In the event that a rate-of-return carrier acquires exchanges from
a price cap carrier that are not incorporated into one of the
rate-of-return carrier's existing study areas, Interstate Common Line
Support for the transferred exchanges shall be distributed as follows.
(1) The acquiring rate-of-return may submit to the Administrator a
projected Interstate Common Line Revenue Requirement for the acquired
exchanges for the remainder of the funding year in the next quarterly
report to the Administrator. The Administrator shall distribute
Interstate Common Line Support pursuant to the partial year projected
Interstate Common Line Revenue Requirement for the remainder of the
funding year. If the acquiring carrier does not file a projected
Interstate Common Line Revenue Requirement, it will not receive
Interstate Common Line Support for those exchanges during the
transition period.
(2) The acquiring carrier's projected data for the following funding
year filed pursuant to § 54.903(a)(3) shall reflect the transfer of
exchanges.
(3) The acquiring carrier's actual data filed pursuant to
§ 54.903(a)(4) shall reflect the transfer of exchanges. All
post-transaction Interstate Common Line Support shall be subject to
true up by the Administrator pursuant to § 54.903(b)(3)
(d) In the event that an entity other than a rate-of-return carrier
acquires exchanges from a rate-of-return carrier, per-line Interstate
Common Line Support will not transfer.
(e) This section does not alter any Commission rule governing the sale
or transfer of exchanges, including the definition of "study area" in
part 36.
