§ 61.49 Supporting information to be submitted with letters of transmittal for
tariffs of carriers subject to price cap regulation.
(a) Each price cap tariff filing must be accompanied by supporting materials
sufficient to calculate required adjustments to each PCI, API, and SBI
pursuant to the methodologies provided in § § 61.45, 61.46, and 61.47, as
applicable.
(b) Each price cap tariff filing that proposes rates that are within
applicable bands established pursuant to § 61.47, and that results in an API
value that is equal to or less than the applicable PCI value, must be
accompanied by supporting materials sufficient to establish compliance with
the applicable bands, and to calculate the necessary adjustment to the
affected APIs and SBIs pursuant to § § 61.46 and 61.47, respectively.
(c) Each price cap tariff filing that proposes rates above the applicable
band limits established in § § 61.47 (e) must be accompanied by supporting
materials establishing substantial cause for the proposed rates.
(d) Each price cap tariff filing that proposes rates that will result in an
API value that exceeds the applicable PCI value must be accompanied by:
(1) An explanation of the manner in which all costs have been allocated
among baskets; and
(2) Within the affected basket, a cost assignment slowing down to the lowest
possible level of disaggregation, including a detailed explanation of the
reasons for the prices of all rate elements to which costs are not assigned.
(e) Each price cap tariff filing that proposes restructuring of existing
rates must be accompanied by supporting materials sufficient to make the
adjustments to each affected API and SBI required by § § 61.46(c) and
61.47(d), respectively.
(f)(1) [Reserved]
(2) Each tariff filing submitted by a price cap local exchange carrier that
introduces a new loop-based service, as defined in § 61.3(pp) of this
part—including a restructured unbundled basic service element (BSE), as
defined in § 69.2(mm) of this chapter, that constitutes a new loop-based
service—that is or will later be included in a basket, must be accompanied
by cost data sufficient to establish that the new loop-based service or
unbundled BSE will not recover more than a just and reasonable portion of
the carrier's overhead costs.
(3) A price cap local exchange carrier may submit without cost data any
tariff filings that introduce new services, other than loop-based services.
(4) A price cap local exchange carrier that has removed its corridor or
interstate ntraLATA toll services from its interexchange basket pursuant to
§ 61.42(d)(4)(ii), may submit its tariff filings for corridor or interstate
intraLATA toll services without cost data.
(g) Each tariff filing submitted by a price cap local exchange carrier that
introduces a new loop-based service or a restructured unbundled basic
service element (BSE), as defined in § 69.2(mm) of this chapter, that is or
will later be included in a basket, or that introduces or changes the rates
for connection charge subelements for expanded interconnection, as defined
in § 69.121 of this chapter, must also be accompanied by:
(1) The following, including complete explanations of the bases for the
estimates.
(i) A study containing a projection of costs for a representative 12 month
period; and
(ii) Estimates of the effect of the new tariff on the traffic and revenues
from the service to which the new tariff applies, the carrier's other
service classifications, and the carrier's overall traffic and revenues.
These estimates must include the projected effects on the traffic and
revenues for the same representative 12 month period used in paragraph
(g)(1)(i) of this section.
(2) Working papers and statistical data. (i) Concurrently with the filing of
any tariff change or tariff filing for a service not previously offered, the
issuing carriers must file the working papers containing the information
underlying the data supplied in response to paragraph (h)(1) of this
section, and a clear explanation of how the working papers relate to that
information.
(ii) All statistical studies must be submitted and supported in the form
prescribed in § 1.363 of the Commission's rules.
(h) Each tariff filing submitted by a price cap local exchange carrier that
introduces or changes the rates for connection charge subelements for
expanded interconnection, as defined in § 69.121 of this chapter, must be
accompanied by cost data sufficient to establish that such charges will not
recover more than a just and reasonable portion of the carrier's overhead
costs.
(i) [Reserved]
(j) For a tariff that introduces a system of density pricing zones, as
described in § 69.123 of this chapter, the carrier must, before filing its
tariff, submit a density pricing zone plan including, inter alia,
documentation sufficient to establish that the system of zones reasonably
reflects cost-related characteristics, such as the density of total
interstate traffic in central offices located in the respective zones, and
receive approval of its proposed plan.
(k) In accordance with § § 61.41 through 61.49, price cap local exchange
carriers that elect to file their annual access tariff pursuant to section
204(a)(3) of the Communications Act shall submit supporting material for
their interstate annual access tariffs, absent rate information, 90 days
prior to July 1 of each year.
(l) On each page of cost support material submitted pursuant to this
section, the issuing carrier shall indicate the transmittal number under
which that page was submitted.
