PAG LIN
1 1 Amend the amendment, H-3610, to House File 518, as
1 2 follows:
1 3 #1. Page 11, by striking lines 26 through 31 and
1 4 inserting the following:
1 5 "(2) Establish reciprocal cost-based compensation
1 6 for termination of telecommunications services between
1 7 local exchange carriers and competitive local exchange
1 8 service providers. The board may also implement an
1 9 appropriate surcharge to be effective on July 1, 1997,
1 10 or upon the availability of provider number
1 11 portability, whichever is first, if the ratio of
1 12 residence to business customers served on a facilities
1 13 basis by a competitive local exchange service provider
1 14 does not approximate the ratio of residence to
1 15 business customers served by the local exchange
1 16 carrier. The board may eliminate the surcharge upon
1 17 the occurrence of either of the following:
1 18 (a) When the local exchange carrier's prices for
1 19 local exchange service cover the carrier's costs as
1 20 determined by the board.
1 21 (b) Once the competitive local exchange service
1 22 provider's ratio of residence to business customers
1 23 approximates that of the local exchange carrier.
1 24 The board may require the local exchange carrier,
1 25 by tariff, to implement an equalization adjustment
1 26 mechanism on an annual basis that recognizes the
1 27 competitive local exchange service provider's average
1 28 annual ratio of residence to business customers and
1 29 which makes appropriate pro rata reductions in the
1 30 surcharge if the competitive local exchange service
1 31 provider demonstrates a year-over-year change in the
1 32 ratio of residence to business customers served. The
1 33 tariff may also provide for an equalization adjustment
1 34 on an annual basis if the local exchange carrier
1 35 experienced an increase in its residential local
1 36 service rates during the preceding year."
