Synopsis 

On May 1, 2008, pursuant to 47 CFR 

64.604(c)(5)(iii)(H) of the Commission 

rules, NECA, the Interstate TRS Fund 

Administrator, submitted its annual 

payment formula and fund size estimate 

for the Interstate TRS Fund for the 

period July 1, 2008, through June 30, 

2009. 

NECA proposes per minute 

compensation rates based on the new 

rate calculation methodologies 

established in the 2007 TRS Rate 

Methodology Order. These calculations 

result in the following proposed rates: 

$1.5938 for interstate traditional TRS; 

$2.7248 for interstate STS; $1.6569 for 

interstate CTS and interstate and 

intrastate IP CTS; $1.2865 for interstate 

and intrastate IP Relay; and tiered rates 

of $6.7362 for the first 50,000 monthly 

minutes, $6.4675 for monthly minutes 

between 50,001 and 500,000, and 

$6.2685 for minutes above 500,000 for 

interstate and intrastate VRS. Based on 

these rates, NECA proposes a carrier 

contribution factor of 0.01012, and a 

Fund size requirement of $805.5 

million.
