  § 36.191   Equal access equipment.

   (a) Equal access investment includes only initial incremental expenditures
   for hardware and other equipment related directly to the provision of equal
   access which would not be required to upgrade the capabilities of the office
   involved absent the provision of equal access. Equal access investment is
   limited to such expenditures for converting central offices which serve
   competitive interexchange carriers or where there has been a bona fide
   request for conversion to equal access.

   (b) Equal access investment is first segregated from all other amounts in
   the primary accounts.

   (c) The equal access investment determined in this manner is allocated
   between the jurisdictions on the basis of relative state and interstate
   equal access traffic including interstate interLATA equal access traffic,
   intrastate interLATA equal access traffic, and BOC interstate corridor toll
   traffic as well as AT&T and OCC intraLATA equal access usage. Local exchange
   traffic  and  BOC  intraLATA  toll traffic is excluded. In the case of
   independent telephone companies, intrastate toll service provided by the
   independent local exchange company is excluded in determining intrastate
   usage,  but intrastate toll service provided by long distance carriers
   affiliated with the local exchange company is included.

   (d) Effective July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2017, all study areas shall
   apportion Equal Access Equipment, as specified in paragraph (a) of this
   section, among the jurisdictions using the relative state and interstate
   equal access traffic, as specified in paragraph (c) of this section, for the
   twelve month period ending December 31, 2000.
