Heading: Calculation Errors

Text: Verizon also contends that the Commission made certain calculation errors that need to be remedied. Specifically, Verizon challenges the (1) calculation of the common cost allocator and (2) computation of UNE-P rates. We conclude that these challenges are largely based on speculation and extra-record evidence, and are not properly before this Court. It is not the job of this Court to recalculate rates and costs, but only to determine whether competent, substantial evidence supported the Commission's decisions on such calculations. See GTC, Inc., 791 So.2d at 456. Further we note that the Commission has set up an appropriate procedure for challenging the Commission's alleged computational errors. Under this procedure, Verizon could have filed a motion for reconsideration pinpointing the alleged erroneous calculations following the issuance of the Commission's final order. In relevant part, the applicable section of Florida's Administrative Code states: Any party to a proceeding who is adversely affected by an order of the Commission may file a motion for reconsideration of that order. Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 25-22.060(1)(a). To an extent, Verizon is attempting to place this Court in the position of the Commission to recalculate data and reweigh evidence, rather than framing a legal issue that this Court can address. In any case, we reject this claim as a claim based upon lack of competent, substantial evidence to support the Commission's findings. [2]
