- For Feature Group B Switched Access Service, the customershall specify the number of trunks and the end office when directrouting to the end office is desired or the access tandem switchwhen routing is desired via an access tandem switch and LocalTransport options and Local Switching options desired. Inaddition, the customer shall also specify for terminating onlyaccess minutes, whether the trunks are to be arranged in trunkgroup arrangements or provided as single trunks.
- For Feature Group C and D Switched Access Service, thecustomer shall specify the number of busy hour minutes ofcapacity (BHMC) from the customer's premises to the end officeby Feature Group and by type of BHMC. This information is usedto determine the number of transmission paths as set forth inSection 6.5.5 following. The customer then specifies the LocalTransport and Local Switching options.
The BHMC may be determined by the customer in the following manner. For each day (8 am to 11 pm, Monday through Friday, excludingnational holidays), the customer shall determine the highest number ofminutes of use for a single hour (e.g., 55 minutes in the 10-11 am hour). The customer shall, for the same hour period (i.e., busyhour) for each of twenty consecutive business days, pick the twentyconsecutive business days in a calendar year which add up to thelargest number of minutes of use. Both originating and terminating minutesshall be included. The customer shall then determine theaverage busy hour minutes of capacity (i.e., BHMC) by dividing thelargest number of minutes of use figure for the same hour period for the

consecutive twenty business day period by 20. This computation shall beperformed for each end office the customer wishes to serve. Thesedeterminations thus establish the forecasted BHMC for each end office.
BHMCs are differentiated by type and directionality of traffic carriedover a Switched Access Service arrangement. Differentiation of trafficamong BHMC types is necessary for the Telephone Company toproperly design Switched Access Service to meet the traffic carryingcapacity requirement of the customer.
There are two major BHMC categories identified as Originating andTerminating. Originating BHMCs represent access capacity within a LATAfor carrying traffic from the end user to the customer; Terminating BHMCsrepresent access capacity within a LATA for carrying traffic from thecustomer to the end user. When ordering capacity for FGC Access or FGDAccess, the customer must at a minimum specify such access capacity interms of Originating BHMCs and/or Terminating BHMCs.
Because some customers will wish to further segregate their originatingtraffic into separate trunk groups, Originating BHMCs are furthercategorized into Domestic, 800, 900, Operator, and IDDD. DomesticBHMCs represent access capacity for carrying only domestic traffic otherthan 800, 900 and Operator traffic; IDDD BHMCs represent access capacityfor carrying only international traffic; and, 800, 900and Operator BHMCs represent access capacity for carrying, respectively,only 800, 900 or Operator traffic. When ordering such types of accesscapacity, the customer must specify Domestic, 800, 900, Operator or IDDDBHMCs.

6.1 General
Switched Access Service, which is available to customers for their use
in furnishing their services to end users, provides a two-point electrical
communications path between a customer's premises and an end user's
premises. It provides for the use of common terminating, switching and
trunking facilities, and both common subscriber plant of the Telephone
Company. Switched Access Service provides for the ability to originate
calls from an end user's premises to a customer's premises, and to
terminate calls from a customer's premises to an end user's premises in
the LATA where it is provided. Specific references to material
describing the elements of Switched Access Service are provided in
6.1.1 and 6.1.2 following.
Rates and charges for Switched Access Service depend generally on its
use by the customer, i.e., for MTS or WATS services, MTS-WATS
equivalent services, or other services, (e.g., foreign exchange service),
and whether it is provided in a Telephone Company end office that is
equipped to provide equal access (Feature Group D Access, described in
6.1.1(D) following). Rates and charges for Switched Access Service
are set forth in Section 20 following. The application of rates for
Switched Access Service is described in 6.7 following. Rates and
charges for services other than Switched Access Service, e.g., a customer's
intrastate toll message service, may also be applicable when Switched
Access Service is used in conjunction with these other
services. Descriptions of such applicability are provided in 6.2.1(A)(7),

section of this tariff at rates and charges specified therein.
6.1.1 Feature Group Arrangements and Manner of Provision
Switched Access Service is provided in four service categories of
standard and optional features called Feature Groups. These are
differentiated by their technical characteristics, e.g., line side vs.
trunk side connection at the Telephone Company entry switch,
and the manner in which an end user accesses them in
originating calling, e.g., with or without an access code.
Following is a brief description of each Feature Group
arrangement.
(A) Feature Group A (FGA)
FGA Access, which is available to all customers, provides
line side access to Telephone Company end office switches
with an associated seven digit local telephone number for
the customer's use in originating communications to an
Interexchange Carrier's Intrastate Service or a customer-
provided intrastate
communications capability. The customer must specify the
Interexchange Carrier to which the FGA service is
connected or, in the alternative, specify the means by which
the FGA access communications is transported to another
state. A more detailed description of FGA Access is
provided in 6.2.1 following.

6.1.2 Rate Categories
There are three rate categories which apply to Switched Access
Service:
- Local Transport as described in 6.1.2(A) following.
- End Office as described in 6.1.2(B) following.
- Common Line as described in Section 3 preceding.
The following diagram depicts a generic view of the components
of Switched Access Service and the manner in which the
components are combined to provide a complete Access Service.
(A) Local Transport
The Local Transport rate category provides the transmission
facilities between the customer's premises and the end
office switches where the customer's traffic is switched to
originate or terminate the customer's communications.
Local Transport is a two-way voice frequency transmission
path composed of facilities determined by the Telephone
Company. The two-way voice frequency transmission
permits the transport of calls in the originating direction
(from the end user end office switch to the customer's
premises) and in the terminating

transmission path may be comprised of any form or
configuration of plant capable of and typically used in the
telecommunications industry for the transmission of voice
and associated telephone signals within the frequency
bandwidth of approximately 300 to 3000 Hz.
The Telephone Company will work cooperatively with the

customer be provided with optional features as set
forth in 6.1.2(A)(3) following.
As a result of the customer's access order and the type
of Telephone Company transport facilities serving the
customer's premises, the need for signaling
conversions or two-wire to four-wire conversions, or
the need to terminate digital or high frequency facilities
in channel bank equipment may require that Telephone
Company equipment be
placed at the customer's premises. For example, if a
voice frequency interface is ordered by the customer
and the Telephone Company facilities serving the
customer's premises are digital, then Telephone

6.2 Provision and Description of Switched Access Service Feature Groups
Switched Access Service is provided in four different Feature Group
arrangements. The provision of each Feature Group requires Local
Transport facilities and the appropriate End Office functions. In
addition, WATS Access Lines may, at the option of the customer, be
provided for use with Feature Groups C and D.
There are three specific transmission specifications (i.e., Types A, B and C)
that have been identified for the provision of Feature Groups. The
specifications provided are dependent on the Interface Group and the
routing of the service, i.e., whether the service is routed directly to the end
office or via an access tandem. The parameters for the transmission
specifications are set forth in 6.4.1 following.
Feature Groups are arranged for either originating, terminating or two-way
calling, based on the customer end office switching capacity ordered.
Originating calling permits the delivery of calls from Telephone Exchange
Service locations to the customer's premises. Terminating calling permits
the delivery of calls from the customer's premises to Telephone Exchange
Service locations. Two-way calling permits the delivery of calls in both
directions, but not simultaneously. The Telephone Company will determine
the type of calling to be provided unless the customer requests that a
different type of directional calling is to be provided. In such cases, the
Telephone Company will work cooperatively with the customer to determine
the directionality.

Company maintains the right to apply protective controls; i.e.,
those actions, such as call gapping, which selectively cancel the
completion of traffic, over any traffic carried over its network,
including that associated with a customer's
Switched Access Service. Generally, such protective
measures would only be taken as a result of occurrences such as
failure or overload of Telephone Company or customer facilities,
natural disasters, mass calling or national security demands. In
the event that the protective controls applied by the Telephone
Company result in the complete loss of service by the customer,
the customer will be granted a Credit Allowance for Service
Interruption as set forth in Section 2.4.4(B)(3) preceding.
6.5.2 Design and Traffic Routing of Switched Access Service
For Feature Groups C and D, the Telephone Company shall
design and determine the routing of Switched Access Service,
including the selection of the first point of switching and the
selection of facilities from the interface to any switching point and
to the end offices where busy hour minutes of capacity are
ordered. The Telephone Company shall also decide if capacity is
to be provided by originating only, terminating
only, or two-way trunk groups. Finally, the Telephone
Company will decide whether trunk side access will be provided
through the use of two-wire or four-wire trunk terminating
equipment. Selection of the facilities and

6.7 Rate Regulations
This section contains the specific regulations governing the rates and
charges that apply for Switched Access Service.
6.7.1 Description and Application of Rates and Charges
There are two types of rates and charges that apply to Switched
Access Service. These are usage rates and nonrecurring
charges.
(A) Usage Rates
Usage rates are rates that apply only when a specific rate
element is used. These are applied on a per access minute
or per call basis. Access minute charges are accumulated
over a monthly period.
(B) Nonrecurring Charges
Nonrecurring charges are one-time charges that apply for a
specific work activity (i.e., installation or change to an
existing service). The types of nonrecurring charges that
apply for Switched Access Service are: installation of
service and service rearrangements.

(B) Nonrecurring Charges (Cont'd)
(1) Installation of Service
Nonrecurring charges apply to each Switched Access
Service installed. For FGA and FGB, which are
ordered on a per line or trunk basis respectively, the
charge is applied per line or trunk. For FGC and FGD,
which are ordered on a busy hour minutes of capacity
basis, the charge is applied on a per trunk basis to the
end office, but the charge applies only when the
capacity ordered requires the installation
of an additional trunk(s).
(2) Service Rearrangements
All changes to existing services other than changes
involving administrative activities only will be
treated as a discontinuance of the existing service and
an installation of a new service. The nonrecurring
charge described in (1) preceding will apply for this
work activity. Moves that change the physical location
of the point of termination are described and charged
for as set forth in 6.7.6 following.

When a customer upgrades a Feature Group A, B or C service to
a Feature Group D service, the nonrecurring charges will not
apply. When a customer upgrades a Feature Group A, B or C
service to Feature Group D service, minimum period obligations
will not change; i.e., the time elapsed in the existing minimum
period obligations will be credited to the minimum period
obligations for Feature Group D service. For all other changes
from one type of Feature Group to another, new minimum period
obligations will be established.
6.7.3 Moves
A move involves a change in the physical location of one of the
following:
- The point of termination at the customer's premises
- The customer's premises
The charges for the move are dependent on whether the move is
to a new location within the same building or to a different
building.

over usage rated FGA and FGB, FGC to 800 and FGD, and for

minutes are derived from recorded minutes in the following
manner.
Step 1: Obtain recorded originating minutes and messages
(measured as set forth in (C) following) from the
appropriate recording data.
Step 2: Obtain the total attempts by dividing the originating
measured messages by the completion ratio.
Completion ratios (CR) are obtained separately for the
major call categories such as DDD, operator, 800, 900,
directory assistance, and international from a sample
study which analyzes the ultimate completion status of
the total attempts which receive acknowledgment from
the customer. That is, Measured Messages divided by
Completion Ratio equals Total Attempts.
Step 3: Obtain the total non-conversation time additive (NCTA)
by multiplying the total attempts (obtained by Step 2)
by the NCTA per attempt ratio. The

NCTA per attempt ratio is obtained from the sample
study identified in Step 2 by measuring the non-
conversation time associated with both completed and
incompleted attempts. The total NCTA is the time on a
completed attempt from customer acknowledgment of
receipt of call to called party answer (set up and
ringing) plus the time on an incompleted attempt from
customer acknowledgment of the call until the access
tandem or end office receives a disconnect signal (ring
- no answer, busy or network blockage). That is, Total
Attempts times Non-Conversation Time per Attempt
Ratio equals Total NCTA.
Step 4: Obtain total chargeable originating access minutes by
adding the total NCTA (obtained in Step 3) to the
recorded originating measured minutes (obtained in
Step 1). That is, Measured Minutes plus NCTA equals
Chargeable Originating Access Minutes.
Following is an example which illustrates how the chargeable
originating access minutes are derived from the measured
originating access minutes using this formula.

6.7.7 Mileage Measurement
The mileage to be used to determine the monthly rate for the
Local Transport Mileage rate element is calculated on the
airline distance between the end office switch (dial tone office
for Feature Group A) where the call carried by Local Transport
originates or terminates and the customers' serving wire
center, except as set forth in (A) through (E). The Telephone
Company may reconfigure its local exchange plant as required
in the normal operation of its business. If such network
reconfiguration results in a changed location of the IC serving
wire center, the Telephone Company will provide the IC with a
minimum 6 months notice. The Local Transport mileage
measurement will be based upon the new serving wire

7.1 General
Special Access Service provides a transmission path to connect customerdesignated premises*, either directly or through a Telephone Company Hubwhere bridging or multiplexing functions are performed. Special AccessService includes all exchange access not utilizing Telephone Company endoffice switches.
The connections provided by Special Access Service can be either analogor digital. Analog connections are differentiated by spectrumand bandwidth. Digital connections are differentiated by bit rate.
Certain Special Access Services listed in this section of the tariff may not becurrently offered in all Telephone Company locations but may be providedupon customer request, on an individual case basis, if facilities can be madeavailable with reasonable effort. The Telephone Company will workcooperatively with the Customer to provide the service on a timely basis.
7.1.1 Circuit Types
There are nine types of circuits used to provide Special AccessServices. Each type has its own characteristics. All aresubdivided by one or more of the following:
- Transmission specifications,- Bandwidth,- Speed (i.e., bit rate),- Spectrum
Customers can order a basic circuit and select from a list ofavailable transmission parameters and channel interfaces thosethat they desire to meet specific communications requirements.
* Telephone Company Centrex CO-like switches are considered to be customerpremises for purposes of this tariff.

Mileage is shown in 7.4 following in terms of mileage bands. Todetermine the rate to be billed, first compute the mileage usingthe V&H coordinates method, as set forth in Section 14 of thistariff, then find the band into which the computed mileage fallsand apply the rate shown for that band. When the calculationresults in a fraction of a mile, always round up to the next wholemile before determining the mileage band and applying the rates.
When hubs are involved, mileage is computed and rates appliedseparately for each of the Circuit Mileage, i.e., customerdesignated premises serving wire center to hub, hub to huband/or hub to customer designated premises serving wire center. However, when any service is routed though a hub for purposesother than customer specified bridging or multiplexing (e.g., theTelephone Company chooses to so route for test accesspurposes), rates will be applied only to the distance calculatedbetween the serving wire centers associated with the customerdesignated premises.
When more than one Telephone Company is involved in theprovision of Special Access Service, the mileage for the CircuitMileage rate element for each Telephone Company is calculatedas set forth in Section 2.4.7(A)(3)(b) preceding.

A customer has the option of ordering Voice Grade facilities oranalog or digital high capacity facilities (i.e., Group, Supergroup,Mastergroup, DS1, DS1C, DS2, DS3 or DS4) to a facility hub forchannelizing to individual services requiring lower capacityfacilities (e.g., Telegraph, Voice, Program Audio, etc.).
Different locations may be designated as hubs for different facilitycapacities, e.g., multiplexing from digital to digital may occur atone location, while mutliplexing from digital to analog may occurat a different location. When placing an Access Order thecustomer will specify the desired hub. Section 14of this Tariff identifies serving wire centers, hub locations and thetype of multiplexing functions available.
Some of the types of multiplexing available include the following:
- from higher to lower bit rate- from higher to lower bandwidth- from digital to voice frequency circuits
End to end services may be provided on circuits of these facilitiesto a hub. The transmission performance for the end to endservice provided between the customer designated premises willbe that of the lower capacity or bit rate. For example, when a1.544 Mbps facility is multiplexed to voice

frequency circuits, the transmission performance of thechannelized services will be Voice Grade, not High Capacity.
The Telephone Company will commence billing the monthly ratefor the facility to the hub on the date specified by the customer onthe Access Order. Individual services utilizing these facilities maybe installed coincident with the installation of the facility to the hubor may be ordered and/or installed at a later date, at the option ofthe customer. The customer will be billed for a Voice Grade or aHigh Capacity analog or digital Circuit Termination, CircuitMileage (when applicable), and the multiplexer at the time thefacility is installed. Individual service rates (by service type) willapply for a Circuit Termination and additional Circuit Mileage (asrequired) for each channelized service. These will be billed to thecustomer as each individual service is installed.
Cascading multiplexing occurs when a high capacity analog ordigital circuit is de-multiplexed to provide circuits with a lessercapacity and one of the lesser capacity circuits is further de-multiplexed. For example, a Supergroup facility is de-multiplexedto five Group facilities and then one of the Group facilities isfurther de-multiplexed to individual Voice Grade circuits.

7.3.6 Shared Use Analog and Digital High Capacity Services
Shared use occurs when Special Access Service and SwitchedAccess Service are provided over the same Wideband Analog orHigh Capacity facilities through a common interface. The facilitywill be ordered, provided and rated as Special Access Service(i.e., Circuit Termination, Circuit Mileage, as appropriate, andMultiplexer). The nonrecurring charge that applies when theshared use facility is installed will be the nonrecurring chargeassociated with the appropriate Special Access, WidebandAnalog or High Capacity Circuit Termination. Individual service(i.e., Switched or Special Access) nonrecurring charges will notapply to the individual circuits of shared use facility. Rating asSpecial Access will continue until such time as the customerchooses to use a portion of the available capacity for providingSwitchedAccess Service. As each individual circuit is activated forSwitched Access Service, the Special Access Circuit Terminationand Circuit Mileage rates will be reduced accordingly (e.g., 1/12thfor a Group [i.e., WA1] service, 1/24th for a DS1 service, etc.). The customer must place an order for each individual Switched orSpecial Access Service utilizing the Shared Use Facilities andspecify the channel assignment for each such service.
Switched Access Service rates and charges as set forth inSection 20 preceding will apply for each circuit of the shared usefacility that is used to provide a Switched Access Service.

(E) IC CIC Consolidation
IC requests to consolidate multiple CICs (Carrier
Identification Codes) will be subject to an IC CIC
Consolidation Charge. This charge is only assessed when
all lines or trunks associated with the former CIC(s) are
changed on a one-time realignment basis within the
Telephone Company's databases at a nationwide level to a
single existing CIC. Requests for an IC CIC Consolidation
must be provided to the Telephone Company in writing, but
no ASR Ordering Charge is applicable for this request.
The IC CIC Consolidation charge does not apply to normal
PIC change activity, whereby carrier selection is changed
and no consolidation of CICs occurs.
The Telephone Company will negotiate a due date for an IC
CIC Consolidation with the IC. It is the sole responsibility of
the IC to notify affected end users of the change.
If an IC elects to change a CIC due to surrendering a CIC to
the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) Administrator
for reassignment, the IC CIC Consolidation Charge will be
waived. The waiver is applied only when the IC surrenders
the CIC on a nationwide basis. Additionally, the CIC must
be relinquished within ninety (90) days from the completed
conversion date. Confirmation of relinquished code(s) must
be in writing and come from the NANP Administrator.

The ILP, in this example, would be filedat 5 years. The annual underutilization liability is filedat $2.00 per pair. If 400 pairs were in service at theend of the ILP, there would be an underutilization of 20pairs, i.e., 420 (70% of 600) - 400 = 20. The totalunderutilization charge for the first 5 years would be$200.00, or $2.00 per pair x 20 pairs x 5 years.
If 420 pairs are in service at the end of the sixth year,there is no underutilization, i.e., 420 - 420 = 0.
