Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The increase in burden is due to FCC 11-161, that was adopted and released requiring or permitting incumbent and competitive LECs, as part of transitioning regulation of interstate and intrastate switched access rates and reciprocal compensation rates to bill-and-keep under section 251(b)(5)of the Commission's rules to file tariffs with state commissions and the FCC. This transition affects different switched access rates at specified timeframes and establishes an Access Recovery Charge by which carriers will be able to assess end users a monthly charge to recover some or all of the revenues they are permitted to recover resulting from reductions in intercarrier copensation rates.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
