The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC or Commission) Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB or Bureau) has released the Tariff Review Plans (TRPs) for incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to substantiate their interstate access service tariff revisions filed in 2020. The TRPs reflect changes made to the rate and recovery rules adopted in the USF/ICC Transformation Order. Without this year’s annual TRP filing, an incumbent LEC will over-recover for costs, such as their Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) costs, beginning July 1, 2020. The form for filing a TRP can be accessed here.
