§ 54.1309 National and study area average unseparated loop costs.
(a) National average unseparated loop cost per working loop. Except as
provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, this is equal to
the sum of the Loop Costs for each study area in the country as
calculated pursuant to § 54.1308(a) divided by the sum of the working
loops reported in § 54.1305(h) for each study area in the country. The
national average unseparated loop cost per working loop shall be
calculated by the National Exchange Carrier Association. Until June 30,
2015 the national average unseparated loop cost for purposes of
calculating expense adjustments for rural incumbent local exchange
carriers, as that term is defined in § 54.5 is frozen at $240.00.
(1) The national average unseparated loop cost per working loop shall
be recalculated by the National Exchange Carrier Association to reflect
the September, December, and March update filings.
(2) Each new nationwide average shall be used in determining the
additional interstate expense allocation for companies which made
filings by the most recent filing date.
(3) The calculation of a new national average to reflect the update
filings shall not affect the amount of the additional interstate
expense allocation for companies which did not make an update filing by
the most recent filing date.
(b) Study area average unseparated loop cost per working loop. This is
equal to the unseparated loop costs for the study area as calculated
pursuant to § 54.1308(a) divided by the number of working loops reported
in § 54.1305(i) for the study area.
(1) If a company elects to, or is required to, update the data which it
has filed with the National Exchange Carrier Association as provided in
§ 54.1306(a), the study area average unseparated loop cost per working
loop and the amount of its additional interstate expense allocation
shall be recalculated to reflect the updated data.
(2) [Reserved]
(c) Until June 30, 2015, the national average unseparated loop Cost per
working loop shall be the greater of:
(1) The amount calculated pursuant to the method described in paragraph
(a) of this section; or
(2) An amount calculated to produce the maximum rural incumbent local
exchange carrier portion of the nationwide loop cost expense adjustment
allowable pursuant to § 54.1302(a).
(d) Beginning July 1, 2015, the national average unseparated loop cost
per working loop shall be frozen at the national average unseparated
loop cost per working loop as recalculated by the National Exchange
Carrier Association to reflect the March 2015 update filing.
