  • case, GCI argues that no entrance facility charge is warranted. NECA responds that its tariff provisions imposing entrance facility charges on collocated competitors have been in effect since 1993 and that NECA is not required to tariff a cross-connect charge in lieu of an entrance facility charge because its member companies have not proposed geographic deaveraging of transport. Discussion. Section 51.515 of the Commission's rules provides that access charges shall not ``be assessed by an incumbent LEC on purchasers of elements that offer telephone exchange or exchange access services.'' Elements include ``network elements, interconnection, and methods of obtaining interconnection and access to unbundled elements.'' If NECA believes that imposing entrance facilities charges on customers who have interconnected pursuant to section 251(c)(6)

Specifically, we seek comment on whether modifying our rules by adding specific titles to identify notices of replacement of copper loops or copper subloops with FTTH loops would assist both incumbent LECs and other parties in determining the applicable notice rules. Subpart F - Pricing of Elements. Section 51.515 of the Commission's rules provides that neither interstate access charges nor comparable intrastate access charges shall be assessed by an incumbent LEC on purchasers of unbundled elements. Subparts (b) and (c) of that section, however, permit incumbent LECs to assess certain interstate and intrastate access charges for a limited period of time, but in no event after June 30, 1997.

The Commission further found that an incumbent LEC must provide requesting carriers collocating pursuant to section 251(c)(6) with cross-connects between, for example, unbundled loops the and the carrier's collocated equipment. In addition, the Commission adopted section 51.515(a), which provides that access charges shall not ``be assessed by an incumbent LEC on purchasers of elements that offer telephone exchange or exchange access services.'' The Commission defined elements to include ``network elements, interconnection, and methods of obtaining interconnection and access to unbundled elements.''

Allowing carriers to avoid paying these charges will undermine universal service supports, prevent ILECs from recovering their costs, and cause inefficient entry into the exchange access market. In its Local Competition Order, the Commission attempted to make a similar finding. Rule 51.515(a) states that "[n]either the interstate access charge described in part 69 nor comparable intrastate access charges shall be assessed by an incumbent LEC on purchasers of elements that offer telephone exchange or exchange access services." However, that rule was stayed by the Eighth Circuit.^[99]^(99) Because of this stay and because "access charges have always played a complex and critical role
