WORKING FILE
FROM:DOUG COOLEY
DATE:MARCH 4, 2004
RE:VERIZON'S ADVICE NO. 04-02 REGARDING FEDERAL SUBSCRIBER
LINE CHARGE CREDITS.
On January February 27 2004, the Commission received Advice No. 04-02 from Verizon
Northwest, Inc. In this filing, Verizon proposes to come into compliance with Federal
Communications Commission regulations regarding the application of subscriber line charges on
derived services. In the past, Verizon has offered CyberDS 1 service with 24 digital channels and
applied two subscriber line charges. Verizon will continue to offer CyberDS 1 and now proposes
to offer a credit for 22 of the 24 applicable subscriber line charges; effectively keeping the
customers at the same overall monthly cost of that service.
STAFF REVIEW
Staff has reviewed the proposed changes to Verizon s I.P.D.C. No.8 Tariff and considers
the filing informational. Although CyberDS 1 is locally tariffed because it is a service connected
to a local switch, treatment of the applicable subscriber line charges is a federal issue and Staff
believes it has no impact on intrastate revenues. Verizon has asked for an effective date of
March 30, 2004, and Staff recommends approval ofVerizon s Advice No. 04-02.
COMMISSION DECISION
Should the Commission approve Verizon s Advice No. 04-02?
