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.

B.   Comments and Replies
  C  
          4.   Comments on the annual access TRPs may be filed on or before June 23,
1999--for filings made on June 16, 1999--and June 28, 1999 for 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 general or
those of specific ILECs. Comments filed in paper format should be filed with the Commission's
Secretary, Magalie Roman Salas, Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission,
445 -12th Street S.W. TW - A325, Washington D.C. 20054. Another copy should be submitted
to the Chief, Competitive Pricing Division, 5th Floor, Federal Communications Commission, 445
- 12th Street S.W., Washington D.C. 20054.  A copy should also be submitted to Raj Kannan, 
Competitive Pricing  Division, Common Carrier Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 
Fifth Floor, 445 - 12th Street S.W.,  Washington D.C. 20554.  Finally, a copy should also be
provided to the International Transcription Service (ITS), the Commission's duplicating
contractor.

          5.   Petitioners  may also file their comments electronically using the Electronic
Tariff Filing System (ETFS). Comments and reply comments filed electronically do not have to be
filed with the Secretary's Office and distributed in the same manner as those filed in paper format. 

          6.   Reply comments should be submitted to the parties listed above; in
addition, each petitioner should be served with a copy on, or before June 28, 1999, for petitions
filed on June 23, 1999, and June 29, 1999 for petitions filed on June 28, 1999. 

          7.   Parties are instructed to provide contact persons and fax numbers 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 47-1.773(a)(4) and (b)(3) of the
Commission's rules, and as stated herein.

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.
