WB Announces Annual Tariff Filing Charges, Review Plans

The FCC Wireline Bureau announced its annual tariff review plans for LECs, effective July 1, in an order posted Monday in docket 22-108. The bureau waived commission rules limiting annual access charge tariff filings to rate-level changes and clarified the "extent that rate-of return carriers receiving model-based universal service support may recover certain exogenous costs through end user charges and Connect America Fund-Intercarrier Compensation (CAF-ICC) support." The bureau also reminded LECs that are required to submit annual filings to pay the new filing fees through the new payment system, said a public notice.
