TARIFF FORMAT
Sheet Numbering - Sheet numbers appear in the upper right comer of the page. Sheets are
numbered sequentially. However, new sheets are occasionally added to the tariff. When
a new sheet is added between sheets already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a
new sheet added between sheets 14 and 15 would be 14.
Sheet Revision Numbers - Revision numbers also appear in the upper right comer of each
page. These numbers are used to determine the most current sheet version on file with the
Commission. For example, the 4th revised Sheet 14 cancels the 3rd revised Sheet 14.
Because of various suspension periods, deferrals , etc. the Commission follows in their tariff
approval process, the most current sheet number on file with the Commission is not always
the tariff page in effect.
Paragraph Numbering Sequence - There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level
of coding is subservient to its next higher level:
1.1.
2. 1. LA.
2. 1. LA. 1.
2. 1. LA. 1. (a).
2. 1. LA. 1. (a).I.

Check Sheets - When a tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated check sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The check sheet lists the sheets contained in the tariff, with
a cross reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the check
sheet is changed to reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated
by an asterisk (*). There will be no other symbols used on the check sheet if these are the
only changes made to it (i., the format, etc. remains the same, just revised revision levels
on some pages). The tariff user should refer to the latest check sheet to find out if a
particular sheet is the most current on file with the Commission.

jurisdiction can be determined from the call detail, will determine the
projected interstate percentage as follows. For originating access minutes
the projected interstate percentage will be developed on a monthly basis by
end office trunk group when the Feature Group D Switched Access Service
access minutes are measured by dividing the measured interstate originating
access minutes (the access minutes where the calling number is in one state
and the called number is in another state) by the total originating access
minutes when the call detail is adequate to determine the appropriate
jurisdiction. For terminating access minutes, the Customer has the option
to provide the Company with a projected Pill factor. Customers who
provide aPIU factor shall supply the Company with an interstate percentage
of the Feature Group D terminating access minutes for each account to
which the Customer may terminate traffic.

These whole number percentages will be used by the Company to apportion
the use, rates, and/or nonrecurring charges between interstate and intrastate

The projected interstate percentage of use will be used to determine the
charges as follows:
The number of access minutes for a trunk group will be multiplied by the
projected interstate percentage of use to determine the interstate access
minutes (i., number of access minutes x projected interstate percentage of
use = interstate access minutes). The number of interstate access minutes
so determined will be subtracted from the total number of access minutes
(i., number of access minutes - interstate access minutes = intrastate

REGULATIONS (Cont'
Application of Rates
The regulations set forth in this section govern the application of rates for services
contained in other sections of this tariff.
10.Charges Based on Duration of Use
Customer traffic to end offices will be measured (i., recorded or assumed) by the
Company at end office switches or access tandem switches. Originating and
terminating calls will be measured (i., recorded or assumed) by the Company to
determine the basis for computing chargeable access minutes. In the event the
Customer message detail is not available because the Company lost or damaged
tapes or experienced recording system outages, the Company will estimate the
volume of lost Customer access minutes of use based on previously known values.
For originating calls over Feature Group D, usage measurement begins when the
originating Feature Group D switch receives the first wink supervisory signal
forwarded from the Customer s point of termination.
The measurement of originating call usage ends when the originating Feature Group
D switch recei ves disconnect supervision from either the originating end user s end
office, indicating the originating end user has disconnected, or the Customer s point
of termination , whichever is recognized first by the switch.
For terminating calls over Feature Group D, the measurement of access minutes
begins when the terminating Feature Group D switch receives answer supervision
from the terminating end user s end office, indicating the terminating end user has
answered. For terminating calls over FGD Access Service, the measured minutes
are chargeable access minutes. Where assumed minutes are used, the assumed
minutes are the chargeable access minutes.

10.Rates Based Upon Distance
Where the charges for service are specified based upon distance, the following rules
apply:
Distance between two points is measured as airline distance between the
wire centers of the originating and terminating telephone lines. The wire
center is a set of geographic coordinates, as referenced in NATIONAL
EXCHANGE CARRIER ASSOCIATION, INe. TARIFF F.e.e. No.
associated with each NPA-NXX combination (where NPA is the area code
and NXX is the first three digits of a seven-digit telephone number).
Except that until the NATIONAL EXCHANGE CARRIER
ASSOCIATION, INC. TARIFF F.e.e. No.4 is revised to include certain
Company wire centers, the airline distance should be determined utilizing
the "V" (vertical) and "H" (horizontal) coordinates as set forth in AT&T

10.3 Mileage
The mileage to be used to determine the Direct Trunk Transport and the Tandem
Switched Transport monthly rates are calculated as the airline distance between the
end office switch where the call carried by Direct Trunk Transport and the Tandem
Switched Transport originates or terminates and the customer s serving wire center.
The V &H coordinates method is used to determine mileage. This method is set
forth in Section 2.10.
The Direct Trunk Transport and the Tandem Switched Transport mileage rates are
shown in Section 5.1.3 in terms of per mile per access minute. To determine the
rate to be billed, first compute the mileage. Should the calculation result in a
fraction of a mile, always round up to the next whole mile before determining the
mileage. Then multiply the mileage by the appropriate Direct Trunk Transport and
the Tandem Switched Transport rate. The amount to be billed shall be the product
of this calculation (i., the number of miles multiplied by the per mile rate)
multiplied by the number of access minutes.

provided. Switched Access Service must be ordered separately for each LATA in which
the customer desires to originate or terminate calls.
Switched Access Service is provided in the following service categories, which are
differentiated by their technical characteristics and the manner in which an end user or
Customer accesses them when originating or terminating calls.
FGD Access , which is available to all Customers, provides trunk side access to Company
end office switches with an associated uniform lOXXX or 1O1XXXX access codes for the

4.4 Rate Categories
There are seven rate categories that may apply to Carrier s Services.
4.4.Channel Terminations (CT) / Local Distribution Channel (LDC)
The Channel Termination Rate Category provides for the communications path
between a Customer designated premises, and another Customer designated
premises. Included as part of the Channel Termination is a standard channel
interface arrangement which defines the technical characteristics associated with
the type of facilities to which the Carrier s service is to be connected, and the type
of signaling capability (if any). One channel Termination charge applies per
Customer designated premises at which the service is terminated.
4.4.Channel Mileage Termination (CMT) - Fixed
This rate element applies per termination whenever there is mileage associated with
the channel; a channel has mileage associated with it when the endpoints are
located in geographic areas normally served out of separate Telephone Company
end offices. Different charges may apply depending on whether the connection is
a Type I (on-Net) or Type II (off-net) connection.

apply depending on whether the connection is a Type I (on-Net) or Type IT (off-net)

which may be added to a Carrier s service to improve its quality or characteristics
