The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) has announced the release of the tariff review plan (TRP) for use by rate-of-return carriers that elected incentive regulation for their business data services (BDS) offerings. The 2022 Tariff Review Plan Order requires those carriers to file TRPs reflecting any exogenous cost adjustment for Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS), North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA), and regulatory fees in rates to be effective October 1, 2022. The TRP worksheets will adjust the carriers’ BDS rates using factors for TRS, NANPA, and regulatory fees.
