National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA) Petition for Declaratory Ruling Regarding Truth-In-Billing and Billing Format; Comments Requested

摘要

This document seeks comment on a Petition filed on March 30, 2004, by the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA). NASUCA filed a Petition for Declaratory Ruling prohibiting telecommunications carriers from "imposing monthly line-item charges, surcharges or other fees on customers" bills unless such charges have been expressly mandated by a regulated agency." NASUCA contends that all monthly line items are subject to the "full and non-misleading billed charges" principle adopted by the Commission in its Truth-In- Billing Order.
