The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) has released the Tariff Review Plans (TRPs) that incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) must file in 2015. Among other things, the 2015 TRPs will be used by ILECs to revise intrastate and interstate rates, revise intercarrier compensation rates, calculate Eligible Recovery and make necessary true-ups, calculate reciprocal compensation rates, and calculate access recovery charges. Price cap and rate-of-return ILECs can download their TRPs from the FCC’s 2015 TRP resource page. Procedures and deadlines for filing TRPS and annual access charge tariffs were recently announced by the Bureau: TRPs and tariffs for 2015 must be filed with an effective date of July 1, 2015.
