<p class="ParaNum">In this proceeding, the FCC proposes to move remaining intercarrier compensation charges to a bill-and-keep framework, including the&nbsp;detariffing&nbsp;of access charges, and seeks comment on the removal of remaining regulatory obligations including tariffing and outdated account information exchange requirements for&nbsp;interstate and international long-distance services.&nbsp; To enable carriers to recover costs from their end-users, the Commission proposes to eliminate ex ante regulation and tariffing of end-user charges, also referred to as Telephone Access Charges. &nbsp;Additionally, the Commission is seeking comment on phasing out certain legacy rate-of-return high-cost support programs, and replacing them with modern, incentive-based mechanisms that better reflect today&rsquo;s marketplace.&nbsp; The Commission also seeks comment on the&nbsp;elimination of regulations that will no longer be necessary in a post-TDM environment, and invite input on a&nbsp;transitional framework&nbsp;to ensure regulatory and market stability during the shift to a fully IP-based voice services landscape.&nbsp;</p>
