In the MTS/WATS Decision and Order, the Commission adopted the recommendation of the Federal and State Joint Board to amend the Commission's separation rules. Specifically, the Commission amended section 36.154 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 36.154, to provide new rules for the jurisdictional separation of the costs and revenues of mixed-use special access lines. Under the rules adopted in that order, mixed-use special access lines would be treated as interstate if the customer certifies that more than 10 percent of the traffic on those lines consists of interstate
