Should the Customer not supply a projected 8XX originating and terminating PIU factor for either
Feature Group D switched access or Direct Trunks, the Company wil apply a default PIU factor of
fift percent (50%) and assess the remaining minutes/facilities under the ters of the applicable state

determine the jursdiction of the call transiting its network. For purposes of developing the projected
interstate percentage, the Customer shall utilize the same considerations as those set fort in Section
2.3.3(B) following.
The Company wil designate the number obtained by subtracting the projected interstate
percentage for originating and terminating access minutes from 100 (100 -projected interstate

(B) For puroses of developing the projected PIU, the Customer shall consider every call
that enters the Customer's network at a point within the same state as the state where the called station
is located to be intrastate and every call that enters the Customer's network at a point in a state
different from the state in which the called station is located to be interstate.

(D) The projected interstate percentage of use wil be used to determine the charges as follows:
The number of access minutes by local switch wil be multiplied by the projected interstate
percentage of use to determine the interstate access minutes. (i.e., number of access minutes x
projected interstate percentage of use = interstate access minutes). The number of interstate access
minutes so determined wil be subtracted from the total number of access minutes (i.e., number of
access minutes. interstate access minutes = intrastate access minutes). The intrastate access minutes
for the group wil be biled as set fort in the following sections.
(E) Effective on the first of Januar, April, July and October of each year, the Customer
may update the jursdictional reports that require a projected interstate percentage. The Customer
shall forward to the Company, to be received no later than 20 calendar days after the first of each
such month, a revised report showing the interstate percentage of use for the past thee months ending
the last day of December, March, June and September, respectively, for each service aranged for
interstate and intrastate use. Except as set forth in Section 2.3.3(A) preceding where jursdiction can
be determined from the recorded message detail, the revised report wil serve as the basis for the next
three months biling and wil be effective on the bil date in the following month (i.e., Februar, May,
August, and November) for that service. No prorating or back biling wil be done based on the
report. If the Customer does not supply the report, the Company wil assume the percentage to be the
same as that provided in the last quarterly report. For those cases in which a quarterly report has
never been received from the Customer, the Company wil assume that 50% of the traffc is intrastate.

termination, whichever is recognized first by the switch.
For terminating calls over Feature Group B or D of Direct Trunks, the measurement of

2.8 Application of Rates (Contd)
2.8.3 Mileage
The mileage to be used to determine the Local Transport Facility monthly rates are calculated on
the airline distance between the end offce switch where the call carred by Local 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 2.8.2.
The Local Transport Facility mileage rates are shown in Section 5.1.3 in terms of per mile per
access minute. To determine the rate to be biled, 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 Local Transport Facility
