VerDate jul<14>2003 18:28 Mar 09, 2005 Jkt 205001 Needs and Uses: This is a one-time data collection designed to assist the Commission in evaluating whether to modify its rules pertaining to jurisdictional separations, specifically, the Part 36 category relationships and jurisdictional cost allocation factors. Jurisdictional separations are the process by which incumbent local exchange carriers apportion regulated costs between the intrastate and interstate jurisdictions. In 2001, the Commission adopted the recommendation of the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations and took action to freeze, on an interim basis, the Part 36 jurisdictional separations rules, in order to stabilize and simplify the separations process while the Commission continued to work on comprehensive separations reform. Specifically, the Commission froze all of the Part 36 category relationships and allocation factors for price cap carriers, and froze all allocation factors for rateof-return carriers. This freeze was to last for five years or until the Commission completed comprehensive separations reform, whichever came first. The freeze is scheduled to lapse on June 30, 2006. The requested data is necessary to enable the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations and the Commission to determine whether to extend the separations freeze, and, if not, whether and how to modify the jurisdictional separations process. To assist the Federal-State Joint Board on Separations and the Commission in this regard, carriers will be requested to identify and explain the way in which specific categories of costs and revenues are recorded for accounting and jurisdictional purposes. Among other things, the data will allow the FederalState Joint Board and the Commission to study the impact of the Internet and the growth in local minutes during the interim freeze.
