Sec. 32.11 of this chapter, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this
section, avoided retail costs shall:
(1) Include, as direct costs, the costs recorded in USOA accounts
6611 (product management), 6612 (sales), 6613 (product advertising),
6621 (call completion services), 6622 (number services), and 6623
(customer services) (Secs. 32.6611, 32.6612, 32.6613, 32.6621, 32.6622,
and 32.6623 of this chapter);
(2) Include, as indirect costs, a portion of the costs recorded in
USOA accounts 6121-6124 (general support expenses), 6711, 6712, 6721-
6728 (corporate operations expenses), and 5301 (telecommunications
uncollectibles) (Secs. 32.6121-32.6124, 32.6711, 32.6712, 32.6721-32.6728, and 32.5301 of this chapter); and
(3) Not include plant-specific expenses and plant non-specific
expenses, other than general support expenses (Secs. 32.6110-32.6116,
32.6210-32.6565 of this chapter).
(d) Costs included in accounts 6611-6613 and 6621-6623 described in
paragraph (c) of this section (Secs. 32.6611-32.6613 and 32.6621-32.6623
of this chapter) may be included in wholesale rates only to the extent
that the incumbent LEC proves to a state commission that specific costs
in these accounts will be incurred and are not avoidable with respect to
services sold at wholesale, or that specific costs in these accounts are
not included in the retail prices of resold services. Costs included in
accounts 6110-6116 and 6210-6565 described in paragraph (c) of this
section (Secs. 32.6110-32.6116, 32.6210-32.6565 of this chapter) may be
treated as avoided retail costs, and excluded from wholesale rates, only
to the extent that a party proves to a state commission that specific
costs in these accounts can reasonably be avoided when an incumbent LEC
provides a telecommunications service for resale to a requesting
carrier.
(e) For incumbent LECs that are designated as Class B companies
under Sec. 32.11 of this chapter and that record information in summary
accounts instead of specific USOA accounts, the entire relevant summary
accounts may be used in lieu of the specific USOA accounts listed in
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section.
