 (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-507)(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)Sec. 13-507.   In any proceeding permitting, approving, investigating, or  establishing rates, charges, classifications, or tariffs for  telecommunications services offered or provided by a telecommunications  carrier that offers or provides both noncompetitive and competitive  services, the Commission shall not allow any subsidy of competitive  services or nonregulated activities by noncompetitive services.  In the  event that facilities are utilized or expenses are incurred for the  provision of both competitive and noncompetitive services, the Commission  shall apportion the facilities and expenses between noncompetitive services  in the aggregate and competitive services in the aggregate and shall allow or  establish rates or charges for the noncompetitive services which reflect  only that portion of the facilities or expenses that it finds to be  properly and reasonably apportioned to noncompetitive services.  An  apportionment of facilities or expenses between competitive and  noncompetitive services, together with any corresponding rate changes,  shall be made in general rate proceedings and in other proceedings,  including service classification proceedings, that are necessary to ensure  against any subsidy of competitive services by noncompetitive services. The  Commission shall have the power to take or require such action as is  necessary to ensure that rates or charges for noncompetitive services  reflect only the value of facilities, or portion thereof, used and useful,  and the expenses or portion thereof reasonably and prudently incurred, for  the provision of the noncompetitive services. The Commission may, in such  event, also establish, by rule, any additional procedures, rules,  regulations, or mechanisms necessary to identify and properly account for  the value or amount of such facilities or expenses.The Commission may establish, by rule, appropriate methods for ensuring  against cross-subsidization between competitive services and noncompetitive  services as required under this Article, including appropriate methods for  calculating the long-run service incremental costs of providing any  telecommunications service and, when appropriate, group of services and  methods for apportioning between noncompetitive services in the aggregate  and competitive services in the aggregate the value of facilities utilized  and expenses incurred to provide both competitive and noncompetitive  services, for example, common overheads that are not accounted for in the  long-run service incremental costs of individual services or groups of  services. The Commission may order any telecommunications carrier to  conduct a long-run service incremental cost study and to provide the  results thereof to the Commission. Any cost study provided to the  Commission pursuant to the provisions of this Section may, in the  Commission's discretion, be accorded proprietary treatment.  In addition to  the requirements of subsection (c) of Section 13-502 and of Section  13-505.1 applicable to the rates and charges for individual competitive  services, the aggregate gross revenues of all competitive services shall be  equal to or greater than the sum of the long-run service incremental costs  for all competitive services as a group and the value of  other facilities and expenses apportioned to competitive services as a  group under this Section.
