**Appendix A**

**Filing Procedures for**

**Companies filing TRPs**

**on June 16, 1999**

1\. The TRPs\--for ILECs with any rate increases\--contained in Appendix
B for price cap carriers, and Appendix C for rate of return companies
should be filed on June 16, 1999. If an ILEC has all rate decreases,
TRPs should be filed on June 24, 1999. All correspondence and comments
in connection with these filings should be designated \"1999 PRICE CAP
REVISIONS.\"

**A**. **TRP Filing Requirements**

2\. In addition to filing their TRPs electronically through the
Electronic Tariff Filing System, (ETFS) ILECs should also file their
TRPs on diskette. ILECs should consult the distribution table at the end
of this Appendix A, as to where to distribute their TRP copies. ILECs
that maintain a Washington, D.C. office should have their Washington,
D.C. office file their diskettes. ILECs that do not have a Washington,
D.C. office are to send their diskettes via Overnight Courier, addressed
to Raj Kannan, Competitive Pricing Division, Common Carrier Bureau 5 th
floor, 445 12 th Street S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.

3\. To facilitate identification and cataloging of the price cap index
revisions filing, carriers should note that:

**a.** A 3.5-inch high-density disk containing a Lotus Release-3 TRP
file will be sent directly to ILECs. ILECs using more recent versions of
Lotus should nevertheless save the TRP in a Lotus Release-3 file; *i.e.*
a WK3 file. A computer virus check will be conducted before the disk is
sent, and the Division urges the ILECs to re-check the disk before
filing. The computer file on the disk should be named COSAAN99 where
\"COSA\" is the 4-character company study area code.

**b**. ILECs should also file their TRPs using the Electronic Tariff
Filing System on June 16 or 24, 1999 depending on the nature of the
filing. Carriers experiencing any difficulty using ETFS can contact Todd
Mitchell of the Competitive Pricing Division at 202-418-1555.

filings made on June 24, 1999. Parties should reference the general
designation shown in paragraph 1 and specific ILECs if applicable. These
comments should specify that they concern the 1999 PCI revisions in

their filings. ILECs are directed to serve their complete tariff
filings, including accompanying cost studies, upon all persons who filed
comments in the January 1, 1999 access tariff filing proceedings.
Parties filing comments and replies electronically are reminded that
they are still required to serve copies in accordance with Sections

**Note:** Please attach a copy of the transmittal letter to your TRP
diskette so that we may identify the carrier submitting the TRP easily.

Please label each packet with the name of the person or organization
that will be receiving the TRP before filing in Room TW A325. Since
carriers are no longer able to deliver these packages directly to each
recipient, it is extremely important that they be properly labeled.
