Abstract: In the First Report and Order, we require price cap LECs to conduct a cost study to determine the geographically averaged portion of local switching costs attributable to certain components of the provision of access and requires modifications to the existing tariff filings, including adding rate elements and flat charges. The Second Order on Reconsideration requires LECs to provide IXCs with customer-specific information about the PICCs assessed on presubscribed lines and requires LECs to report the facilities-based portion of their transport interconnection charge in their tariff filings.
