Sec. 36.622 National and study area average unseparated loop costs.
(a) National Average Unseparated Loop Cost per Working Loop. Except as
provided in paragraph (c) of this section, this is equal to the sum of the
Loop Costs for each study area in the country as calculated pursuant to
Sec. 36.621(a) divided by the sum of the working loops reported in Sec. 36.611(h)
for each study area in the country. The national average unseparated loop
cost per working loop shall be calculated by the National Exchange Carrier
Association. Effective July 1, 2001, the national average unseparated loop
cost for purposes of calculating expense adjustments for rural incumbent
local exchange carriers, as that term is defined in Sec. 54.5 of this chapter,
is frozen at $240.00.
(1) The National Average Unseparated Loop Cost per Working Loop shall be
recalculated by the National Exchange Carrier Association to reflect the
September, December, and March update filings.
(2) Each new nationwide average shall be used in determining the additional
interstate expense allocation for companies which made filings by the most
recent filing date.
(3) The calculation of a new national average to reflect the update filings
shall not affect the amount of the additional interstate expense allocation
for companies which did not make an update filing by the most recent filing
date.
(b) Study Area Average Unseparated Loop Cost per Working Loop. This is equal
to the unseparated loop costs for the study area as calculated pursuant to
Sec. 36.621(a) divided by the number of working loops reported in Sec. 36.611(h) for
the study area.
(1) If a company elects to, or is required to, update the data which it has
filed with the National Exchange Carrier Association as provided in
Sec. 36.612(a), the study area average unseparated loop cost per working loop
and the amount of its additional interstate expense allocation shall be
recalculated to reflect the updated data.
(2) [Reserved]
(c) The National Average Unseparated Loop Cost per Working Loop shall be the
greater of:
(1) The amount calculated pursuant to the method described in paragraph (a)
of this section; or
(2) An amount calculated to produce the maximum total Universal Service Fund
allowable pursuant to Sec. 36.601(c).
