Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
For telecommunications companies with 100,000 or more access
				  lines, intrastate category 3 investment is apportioned to toll and other
				  services based on the relationship of unweighted intrastate toll dial equipment
				  minutes of use (DEM) to unweighted total intrastate DEM. To develop the toll
				  relationship, unweighted intrastate toll DEM is divided by the sum of the
				  unweighted intrastate toll and other services DEM. This result is applied to
				  the intrastate category 3 investment.
For all other local exchange companies, category 3 investment
				  is apportioned by the application of an intrastate allocation factor that is
				  the lesser of either 85 percent or the DEM factor specified in the first
				  paragraph of this section multiplied by a weighting factor of two. The total
				  weighted DEM for intrastate toll and interstate is capped at 85 percent.
				  Interstate weighted DEM plus intrastate weighted toll DEM must be less than or
				  equal to 85 percent. If greater than 85 percent, intrastate weighted toll DEM
				  is reduced to bring the combined weighted interstate and intrastate toll DEM to
				  85 percent.

Note:
For separations purposes, it is
					 necessary to analyze the cable and wire facilities classified in subordinate
					 records in order to determine their assignment to the categories. In the
					 separation of the cost of cable and wire facilities among the operations, the
					 first step is the assignment of the facilities to certain categories. The basic
					 method of making this assignment is the identification of the facilities
					 assignable to each category and the determination of the cost of the facilities
					 so identified. Because of variations among companies in the character of the
					 facilities and operating conditions and in the accounting and engineering
					 records maintained, the detailed methods followed, of necessity, will vary
					 among the companies. The general principles to be followed, however, will be
					 the same for all companies. The second step is the apportionment of the cost of
					 the facilities in each category among the operations through the application of
					 applicable factors or by direct assignment.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Cable consists of aerial cable, underground cable, buried
				  cable, submarine cable, deep sea cable, and intrabuilding network cable. If an
				  entire cable or aerial wire is assignable to one category, its cost and
				  quantity are, where practicable, directly assigned. There are two basic methods
				  for assigning the cost of cable to the various categories. Both of them are
				  based on conductor cross-section. The methods are as follows:
(1) By section of cable, uniform as to makeup
				and relative use by categories. From an analysis of cable engineering and
				assignment records, determine in terms of equivalent gauge the number of pairs
				in use or reserved for each category. The corresponding percentages of use, or
				reservation, are applied to the cost of the section of cable to obtain the cost
				assignable to each category; or
(2)
				By using equivalent pair miles, which are pair miles expressed in terms of
				equivalent gauge. From an analysis of cable engineering and assignment records,
				determine the equivalent pair miles in use for each category by type of
				facility, such as quadded or paired. The equivalent pair miles are then divided
				by a cable fill factor to obtain the equivalent pair miles in plant. The total
				equivalent pair miles in plant assigned to each category are summarized by type
				of facility and priced at applicable average unit costs per equivalent pair
				mile in plant. This study may be made in terms of circuit miles rather than
				physical pair miles, with average cost and fill data consistent with the basis
				of the facilities mileage count.

Note:
Method (1) may be found more desirable
					 if there is a relatively small amount of cable of variable make-up and use by
					 categories. Conversely, method (2) may be more desirable if there is a large
					 amount of cable of variable make-up and use by categories. In some cases a
					 combination of both methods may be desirable. It may be desirable in some cases
					 to determine the amount assignable to a particular category by deducting from
					 the total the sum of the amounts assigned to all other categories. For use in
					 the assignment of poles to categories, the equivalent sheath miles of aerial
					 cable assigned to each category are determined. For convenience, these
					 quantities are determined in connection with the assignment of cable costs. If
					 an entire cable is assignable to one category, its costs and quantity are,
					 where practicable, directly assigned.

				  subcategories:
(1) Subcategory 1.1 -
				intrastate private line and state WATS lines, including all private lines and
				WATS lines carrying exclusively intrastate traffic as well as private lines and
				WATS lines carrying both intrastate and interstate traffic if the interstate
