 3     1.  Page 11, by striking lines 26 through 31 and
 4   inserting the following:
 5     "(2)  Establish reciprocal cost-based compensation
 6   for termination of telecommunications services between
 7   local exchange carriers and competitive local exchange
 8   service providers.  The board may also implement an
 9   appropriate surcharge to be effective on July 1, 1997,
10   or upon the availability of provider number
11   portability, whichever is first, if the ratio of
12   residence to business customers served on a facilities
13   basis by a competitive local exchange service provider
14   does not approximate the ratio of residence to
15   business customers served by the local exchange
16   carrier.  The board may eliminate the surcharge upon
17   the occurrence of either of the following:
18     (a)  When the local exchange carrier's prices for
19   local exchange service cover the carrier's costs as
20   determined by the board.
21     (b)  Once the competitive local exchange service
22   provider's ratio of residence to business customers
23   approximates that of the local exchange carrier.
24     The board may require the local exchange carrier,
25   by tariff, to implement an equalization adjustment
26   mechanism on an annual basis that recognizes the
27   competitive local exchange service provider's average
28   annual ratio of residence to business customers and
29   which makes appropriate pro rata reductions in the
30   surcharge if the competitive local exchange service
31   provider demonstrates a year-over-year change in the
32   ratio of residence to business customers served.  The
33   tariff may also provide for an equalization adjustment
34   on an annual basis if the local exchange carrier
35   experienced an increase in its residential local
36   service rates during the preceding year."
Amendment H-3770 was adopted.
