The measurement of terminatig call usage over Switched Access Service ends when
a disconnect signal is received, indicating that either the originating or terminating
user has disconnected.
C. When recording originating calls over Switched Access Service with SS7 signaling,
usage measurement begins with the transmission of the initial address message by the
switch for direct tr groups and with the receipt of an exit message by the switch

3.8 Rate Regulations, (Contd.)
3.8.5 Installation of Optional Features
A. If a separate nonrecurring charge applies for the installation of an optional feature
available with Switched Access Service, the charge applies whether the featue is
installed coincident with the initial installation of service or at any tie subsequent to
the initial installation of service.
B. For all other changes, including the addition of, or modifications to, optional featues
without separate nonrecurring charges, a charge equal to one half the Switched
Transport nonrecurring (i.e. installation) charge wil apply. When an optional featue
is not required on each transmission path, but rather for an entire transmission path
group, an end offce or an access tandem switch, only one such charge wil apply.
3.8.6 Service Reargements
A. Service rearangements are changes to existing services which do not result in either
a change in the minimum period requirements or a change in the physical location of
the point of termination at the Customer's premises or the Customer's End User's
premises. Changes, which result in the establishment of new minimum period
obligations, are treated as disconnects and star.
B. The charge to the Customer for the service rearangement is dependent on whether
the change is administrative only in nature or involves an actual physical change to
the service.
C. Administrative changes wil be made without charge(s) to the Customer. Such
