Regulatory Reform for Small and Mid-Size Local Exchange Carriers Subject to Rate-of-Return Regulation

Короткий зміст

In this Order, the Commission considers petitions for reconsideration and clarification concerning regulatory reform for local exchange carriers subject to rate of return regulations (Small Telco Reform Order). In particular, the Order eliminates the two year notice period that local exchange carriers must provide before exiting the incentive plan, clarifies the rules consistent with the Small Telco Reform Order, and amends the rules and clarifies several matters raised by the petitioners. The Commission's action is intended to eliminate any ambiguities and inconsistencies in the Commission's rules and the Small Telco Reform Order.
