SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission published in the Federal
Register of October 29, 1997, (62 FR 56121), a document revising rules
governing the access charges of incumbent local exchange carriers.
Inadvertently, the Commission failed to amend the rule that describes
how incumbent LECs that are not subject to price cap regulation
calculate the transport interconnection charge. This document makes
that amendment.
DATES: Effective December 17, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Goldschmidt, Attorney, Common
Carrier Bureau, Competitive Pricing Division, (202) 418-1530.

In rule FR Doc. 97-28548 published on October 29, 1997, (62 FR
56121) make the following correction.
1. On page 56132, in the third column, correct the number of

2. On page 56132, in the third column, add a new amendatory
paragraph 80 to read as follows:
80. Section 69.124 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 69.124 Interconnection charge.
(a) Local exchange carriers not subject to price cap regulation
shall assess an interconnection charge expressed in dollars and cents
per access minute upon all interexchange carriers and upon all other
persons using the telephone company switched access network.
(b) If the use made of the local exchange carrier's switched access
network includes the local switch, but not local transport, the
interconnection charge assessed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
section shall be computed by subtracting entrance facilities, tandem-
switched transport, direct-trunked transport, and dedicated signalling
transport revenues, as well as any interconnection charge revenues that
the local exchange carrier anticipates will be reassigned to other,
facilities-based rate elements in the future, from the part 69
transport revenue requirement, and dividing by the total interstate
local switching minutes.
(c) If the use made of the local exchange carrier's switched access
network includes local transport, the interconnection charge to be
assessed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section shall be computed by
dividing any interconnection charge revenues that the local exchange
carrier anticipates will be reassigned to other, facilities-based rate
elements in the future by the total interstate local transport minutes,
and adding thereto the per minute amount calculated pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this section.
