1 Local End User Rate as defined in USF/ICC Transformation Order 26 FCC Rcd at 17751, Para. 238
2 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17694, Para. 84 (footnote included) “The standard deviation is a
measure of dispersion. The sample standard deviation is the square root of the sample variance. The sample
variance is calculated as the sum of the squared deviations of the individual observations in the sample of data
from the sample average divided by the total number of observations in the sample minus one. In a normal
distribution, about 68 percent of the observations lie within one standard deviation above and below the average
and about 95 percent of the observations lie within two standard deviations above and below the average.”
