(a) All statistical studies, offered in evidence in common carrier hearing
proceedings, including but not limited to sample surveys, econometric
analyses, and experiments, and those parts of other studies involving
statistical methodology shall be described in a summary statement, with
supplementary details added in appendices so as to give a comprehensive
delineation of the assumptions made, the study plan utilized and the
procedures undertaken. In the case of sample surveys, there shall be a clear
description of the survey design, including the definition of the universe
under study, the sampling frame, and the sampling units; an explanation of
the method of selecting the sample and the characteristics measured or
counted. In the case of econometric investigations, the econometric model
shall be completely described and the reasons given for each assumption and
statistical specification. The effects on the final results of changes in
the assumptions should be made clear. When alternative models and variables
have been employed, a record shall be kept of these alternative studies, so
as to be available upon request. In the case of experimental analyses, a
clear and complete description of the experimental design shall be set
forth, including a specification of the controlled conditions and how the
controls were realized. In addition, the methods of making observations and
the adjustments, if any, to observed data shall be described. In the case of
every kind of statistical study, the following items shall be set forth
clearly: The formulas used for statistical estimates, standard errors and
test statistics, the description of statistical tests, plus all related
computations, computer programs and final results. Summary descriptions of
input data shall be submitted. Upon request, the actual input data shall be
made available.
(b) In the case of all studies and analyses offered in evidence in common
carrier hearing proceedings, other than the kinds described in paragraph (a)
of this section, there shall be a clear statement of the study plan, all
relevant assumptions and a description of the techniques of data collection,
estimation and/or testing. In addition, there shall be a clear statement of
the facts and judgments upon which conclusions are based and a statement of
the relative weights given to the various factors in arriving at each
conclusion, together with an indication of the alternative courses of action
considered. Lists of input data shall be made available upon request.
