Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
For apportionment purposes, the expenses in operating taxes,
				  account 7200, are segregated into operating federal, state, and local income
				  taxes and all other operating taxes.
Operating federal, state, and local income taxes are
				  apportioned among the operations based on the approximate net taxable income,
				  positive or negative, applicable to each of the operations. The approximate net
				  taxable income from each of the operations is the summation of the following
				  amounts apportioned to each operation using the procedures in this
				  chapter:
(1) Operating
				revenues;
(2) Less operating
				expenses;
(3) Less operating taxes
				except the net income tax being apportioned and except any other tax not
				treated as a deductible item in the determination of taxable net income for
				this purpose;
(4) Less operating
				fixed charges.
The amount of fixed charges attributable to the operations is
				  obtained by subtracting the tax component, positive or negative, attributable
				  to other than the operating fixed charges. For example, fixed charges on
				  nonoperating investments are that proportion of total fixed charges which
				  nonoperating net investments are of total operating and nonoperating net
				  investments. Operating fixed charges, including interest on rural telephone
				  bank stock, are apportioned among the operations based on the separation of the
				  cost of telecommunications plant less applicable reserves.
Other operating taxes are directly assigned to the applicable
				  operation if possible. If direct assignment is not feasible, these expenses are
				  apportioned among the operations based on the separation of the cost of
				  telecommunications plant in service, account 2001.

For those companies that implement equal access within the
				  state jurisdiction, equal access expenses include only initial incremental
				  presubscription costs and other initial incremental expenditures related
				  directly to the provision of equal access that would not be required to upgrade
				  the capabilities of the office involved except for the provision of equal
				  access. Equal access expenses are limited to the expenditures for converting
				  central offices that serve competitive interexchange carriers or where there
				  has been a bona fide request for conversion to equal access.
Intrastate equal access expenses which are not related to
				  centralized equal access provisioning are directly assigned to toll.
				  Centralized equal access expenses are recovered separately by the centralized
				  equal access provider. Costs incurred by the local exchange company to provide

				  carrier's facilities connected with the originating exchange. On the
				  terminating end of an intrastate call, usage is measured from the time the call
				  is received by the end user in the terminating exchange. Timing of usage at
				  both the originating and terminating end of an intrastate call terminates when
				  disconnection by either the calling or called party is first recognized in
				  either the originating or terminating end exchange.

Origination of a service that is switched in a class 4 switch

				  service begins when the transmission leaves the switch. However, switching in a
				  class 4 switch or transmission between class 4 switches that is not considered
				  interexchange may be considered origination or termination for purposes of this
				  chapter. Origination and termination do not include the use of any part of a
				  line, trunk, or switch that is not owned or leased by a telecommunications
				  company.
Origination of a service other than a service that is
				  switched in a class 4 switch or a switch that performs an equivalent function
				  ends and termination of the service begins at a point of demarcation that
				  corresponds with the point of demarcation that is used for a service that is

				  the term "open end" of a call describes the origination or termination of a

				  or two open ends. All open end minutes on calls with one open end, such as an
				  800 or foreign exchange call, may be treated as terminating minutes.
A per minute charge is computed by dividing the annual

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
If end users of an intrastate service that uses local
				  switching facilities pay message unit charges for such calls, a credit is
				  deducted from the local switching element charges to the carrier. The per
				  minute credit is multiplied by the monthly access minutes for the service to
				  compute the monthly credit.
If all local exchange subscribers pay message unit charges,
				  the per minute credit is computed by dividing total message unit charges to all
				  subscribers in a representative month by the total minutes of use that were
				  measured for purposes of computing message unit charges in that month.
If some local exchange subscribers pay message unit charges
				  and some do not, a per minute credit is computed by multiplying a credit
				  computed according to the second paragraph of this section by a factor that is
				  equal to total minutes measured in a representative month for purposes of
				  computing message unit charges divided by the total local exchange minutes in
				  that month.

If the telecommunications company employs distance sensitive

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
Tandem-switched transport consists of two rate elements, a
				  tandem-switched transport transmission charge and a tandem switching
				  charge.
A tandem-switched transport transmission charge expressed in
				  dollars and cents per access minute is assessed on all interexchange carriers
				  and other persons that use the carrier's carrier's tandem-switched transport
				  facilities. Tandem-switched transport transmission charges generally are
				  presumed reasonable if the carrier's carrier bases the charges on a weighted
				  per-minute equivalent of direct-trunked transport DS1 and DS3 rates that
				  reflect the relative number of DS1 and DS3 circuits used in the tandem to end
				  office links, or a surrogate based on the proportion of copper and fiber
				  facilities in the interoffice network, calculated using a loading factor of
				  9000 minutes per month per voice-grade circuit. Tandem-switched transport
				  transmission charges may be distance sensitive. Mileage is measured as airline
				  mileage between the serving wire center and the end office, unless the customer
				  has ordered tandem-switched transport between the tandem office and the end
				  office, in which case mileage is measured as airline mileage between the tandem
				  office and the end office. If the carrier's carrier employs distance sensitive
				  rates, a distance sensitive component is assessed for use of the transmission
				  facilities, including intermediate transmission circuit equipment between the
				  end points of the interoffice circuit and a nondistance sensitive component is
				  assessed for use of the circuit equipment at the ends of the interoffice
				  transmission links.
A tandem switching charge expressed in dollars and cents per
				  access minute is assessed on all interexchange carriers and other persons that
				  use the carrier's carrier's tandem switching facilities. The tandem switching
				  charge is set to recover the annual intrastate interexchange tandem revenue
				  requirement. A carrier's carrier may set the tandem switching charge to recover
				  at least the direct costs of tandem switching plus a reasonable contribution
				  level if it can demonstrate to the commission that the annual tandem revenue
				  requirement fails to recover the direct costs.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
A flat-rated direct-trunked transport charge expressed in

				  charges for equivalent voice grade, DS1, and DS3 special access
				  services.
Direct-trunked transport charges may be distance sensitive.
				  Mileage is measured as airline mileage between customer-designated points. If
				  the carrier's carrier employs distance sensitive rates, a distance sensitive
				  component is assessed for use of the transmission facilities, including
				  intermediate transmission circuit equipment, between end points of the circuit
				  and a nondistance sensitive component is assessed for use of the circuit
