Current through Register Vol. 50, page 114, March 25, 2024

A flat-rated entrance facilities charge expressed in dollars and cents per unit of capacity is assessed on all interexchange carriers and other persons that use a carrier's carrier's facilities between the interexchange carrier or other person's point of demarcation and the serving wire center. Entrance facilities charges are based on special access channel termination rates for equivalent voice grade, DS1, and DS3 services. Entrance facilities charges may be distance sensitive. Mileage is measured as airline mileage between the point of demarcation and the serving wire center.

If the telecommunications company employs distance sensitive rates, a distance sensitive component is assessed to recover the costs of the transmission facilities, including any intermediate transmission circuit equipment between the end points of the entrance facilities, and a nondistance sensitive component is assessed to recover the costs of the circuit equipment at the ends of the transmission links.
