  • 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. See Twentieth Reconsideration Order, FCC 00-126 at paras. 9-10, 17. See Twentieth Reconsideration Order, FCC 00-126 at paras.

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. Excluding ``new'' costs from the calculation would be a difficult, and most likely an arbitrary means of deriving an index year expense adjustment, and distinguishing such new costs from routine or recurring costs would be a highly subjective process.

In the limited number of cases in which the Bureau has granted study area waivers retroactively, it has done so explicitly and specifically identified an earlier effective date. Consistent with that approach, when the Bureau has granted waivers of sections 36.611 and 36.612 of the Commission's rules to accelerate the provision of high-cost loop support to new carriers initiating or extending service in predominantly unserved areas, it likewise has specified the date when the carrier should begin receiving support, if the date predates the release date of the order.

Nevertheless, some time lag between the filing of a disaggregation plan by an incumbent and the distribution of disaggregated support amounts by USAC to both incumbents and competitive ETCs is necessary to provide sufficient time for competitive ETCs to also disaggregate their lines.
