This support is referred to as an ``expense adjustment'' because it permits carriers with high loop costs to assign a greater portion of loop-related costs to the interstate jurisdiction than would be permitted otherwise under the Commission's jurisdictional separations rules, thereby reducing the costs allocated to the intrastate jurisdiction. Carriers recover the incremental allocation from the high-cost loop mechanism.

  • ) CC Docket No. 96-45 ORDER Adopted: December 17, 2002 Released: December 18, 2002 By the Deputy Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau: Introduction In this Order, we deny the request by Public Service Telephone Company, Inc. (Public Service) for confidential treatment of loop cost data provided to the Commission by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) pursuant to sections 36.611 and 36.613 of the Commission's rules. We find that Public Service has not demonstrated by a preponderance of evidence that its loop-cost data should be withheld from public inspection. Background In accordance with section 36.611 of the Commission's rules, on July 31 of each year, incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) file with NECA the preceding year's loop-cost data for each study area.

  • data for each study area. Loop cost data include information concerning an incumbent LEC's plant, operating and maintenance costs, and depreciation expenses. Incumbent LECs are also required to include with their loop cost data the number of working loops in their study areas and, if applicable, the number of wire centers or disaggregation zones within wire centers. Pursuant to section 36.613 of the Commission's rules, NECA uses these data to calculate, among other things, the national average loop cost and each study area's expense adjustment. NECA submits its calculations to the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) on October 1 of each year. Once NECA files these data with the Commission and USAC, they become available to the public. USAC uses NECA's

We have permitted this review and approval period for universal service formulas to keep consistent with our rules on universal service high cost support under Part 36 of our rules. See e.g., 47 C.F.R. §§ 36.601, 36.613. See Access Tariff Filing Schedules, Report and Order, FCC 88-283, 3 FCC Rcd 5496, 5498 (1988). In implementing provisions of the 1996 Act, the Commission streamlined its tariff review process. See 47 U.S.C. § 204(a)(3).

See 47 C.F.R. § 54.309. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 36.613, 36.622(c). We also note that, consistent with our capping the high-cost fund and the provisions herein freezing both incumbent LEC and competitive ETC support at the study area level, we keep in place the interim cap on competitive ETC support adopted in the Interim Cap Order. Customer locations include both residential and business locations within the ETC's service area. See

  • many rate-of-return carriers already effectively receive support based on a similar regression analysis under the Commission's average schedule rules, although we do not propose to use that methodology here. The National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) is an association that allows rate-of-return carriers to pool costs and revenues for the purpose of filing common tariffs. Pursuant to sections 36.611, 36.612, and 36.613 of the Commission's rules, NECA also has responsibility for collecting loop cost data from all LECs and calculating HCLS. 47 C.F.R. §§ 36.611-613.Some carriers, called average schedule carriers, do not routinely file their cost data for either tariff settlement or universal service purposes. Instead, NECA annually proposes formulas to determine settlements and HCLS. These formulas are derived from a regression
