The association shall submit a report on or before February 1 of each calendar year describing the association's cost study review process for the preceding calendar year as well as the results of that process. For any revisions to cost study results made or recommended by the association that would change the respective carrier's calculated annual common line or traffic sensitive revenue requirement by ten percent or more, the report shall include the following information: 1) the name of the carrier; 2) a detailed description of the revisions; 3) the amount of the revisions; 4) the impact of the revisions on the carrier's calculated common line and traffic sensitive revenue requirements; and 5) the carrier's total annual common line and traffic sensitive revenue requirement.
