  • Mattey, Deputy Chief, Common Carrier Bureau, dated November 15, 2000. While the access line-count data provided by NECA is included within the scope of this Protective Order for this proceeding, this treatment is not dispositive of how this data may be treated for confidentiality purposes in other proceedings or contexts. For example, study area line counts filed pursuant to section 36.611 of the Commission's rules, 47 U.S.C. � 36.611, are made publicly available in NECA's annual filing and the quarterly reports of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). ``Final resolution of this proceeding'' refers to action of the Commission establishing final rules in this proceeding and the final resolution of any court of appeals regarding such rules, and does not refer

  • Tenth Report and Order, 14 FCC Rcd at 20186. Non-rural carriers began filing quarterly wire center line counts for the first time on December 30, 1999. These line counts reflected a carrier's lines as of June 30, 1999. Non-rural carriers are now required to file line count data by wire center, rather than by study area. See 47 C.F.R. �� 36.611, 36.612, 54.307. Prior to December 30, 1999, non-rural incumbent local exchange carriers and competitive eligible telecommunications carriers seeking to receive support were required to file line count data at the study area level pursuant to sections 36.611 and 54.307 of the Commission's rules.

  • universal service support to promote the availability of affordable service. A rural carrier is eligible for high-cost loop support to the extent that its cost per loop (CPL) exceeds certain benchmarks relative to the nationwide average CPL. To receive high-cost support, rural carriers must file their loop cost data with the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. (NECA) pursuant to section 36.611 of the Commission's rules. NECA then compares each carrier's CPL to the nationwide average CPL to calculate a support amount, or ``expense adjustment,'' for each carrier. Average schedule carriers generally do not file cost data with NECA. Although the Commission's rules do not specifically provide for expense adjustments for average schedule carriers, some average schedule carriers have loop costs that

The Commission's rules require that a carrier's index year be based on either the first calendar year after the transfer of exchanges (for carriers filing their cost data annually pursuant to section 36.611 of the Commission's rules), or the first quarter following the transfer (for carriers filing quarterly data pursuant to section 36.612). Likewise, we believe that Valor's proposal to exclude new costs to calculate an adjusted index year expense adjustment would be inappropriate.

Under the existing mechanisms, the amount of an incumbent LEC's high-cost loop support is based on the relationship of its historical loop cost for a particular study area to the national average loop cost. In order to determine this relationship, approximately half of all incumbent LECs submit their historical loop cost data to NECA each year pursuant to sections 36.611 and 36.612 of the Commission's rules. Because the cost data is not submitted by carriers until seven months after the end of a calendar year, and because NECA requires time to analyze the data and make the necessary nationwide calculations of support, carriers generally do not receive high-cost support based on these data until the beginning of the second calendar
