The purpose of this Order is to facilitate price cap local exchange carriers'  Y2(LECs') filings of their Tariff Review Plans (TRPs)K zP(ԍ See Support Material for Carriers to File to Implement Access Charge Reform Effective January 1, 1997, Tariff Review Plans, DA 972345 (rel.

(Access Charge Reform Proceeding).& This Order addresses the following matters: (1) the dates on which the TRPs and complete tariff filings must be filed, as well as the dates for comments and replies; (2) what information must be provided with the TRPs; (3) a waiver of the 45day notice requirement of section 61.58(c)(5) of the Commission's rules for early submissions of complete tariff filings; (4) service of the TRPs, complete tariff filings, comments, and replies; and (5) early agreements of confidentiality between parties. In addition, attachments to this Order establish the filing procedures for the TRPs and complete tariff filings."R0*((T"Ԍ X2ř II. DISCUSSION TP  X- A.xFiling Dates for TRPs  X-x2. Pursuant to section 61.49(l) of the Commission's rules,Bx yO-ԍ 47 C.F.R. 61.49(l).B TRPs must be filed 90 days prior to the effective date of the annual access filings. In adopting this rule, the Commission found that it can require early filings of TRPs so long as it does not require that  X_-those TRPs contain proposed rates._Xx yOh -ԍ Implementation of Section 402(b)(1)(A) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, CC Docket No. 96187, Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 2170, 221920 (1997). "Early filing of changes . . . would facilitate review of the annual access filings within the streamlined notice periods by resolving most of the major  X1-issues currently raised in the annual access proceedings."<1x {O-ԍ Id. at 2219.< We find that this rationale is equally applicable to the January 1, 1998 access filings. x3. We recognize that the information required for the TRP takes time to complete. However, we also are aware that we must provide sufficient time for review by all parties, and that there is little time to complete such review. Taking these factors into consideration, we direct price cap LECs to file their TRPs and all supporting cost studies by November 26, 1997. Comments will be due December 10, 1997, and replies will be due on December 17, 1997.  XK- B.xInformation to be Filed x4. Price cap LECs need not include in their November 26 submissions the following portions of the TRP: (1) the proposed actual price indices (APIs) and service band indices (SBIs) on Chart PCI1; (2) Chart SUM1, which is a summary chart displaying the proposed revenues in baskets and categories; and (3) Chart RTE1, which is used to verify changes in proposed APIs and SBIs. By withholding this information, price cap LECs may avoid revealing their proposed rates prior to the complete tariff filing.  X|- C.x45Day Notice Requirement  XN-x5. LECs may elect to submit a complete tariff filing prior to December 17, 1997, on more than the 15 days' notice applicable to streamlined tariff filings as specified in section  X -61.58(d) of the Commission's Rules.B Bx yO%-ԍ 47 C.F.R. 61.58(d).B Such filings would ordinarily be subject to the 45  X -days' notice required by section 61.58(c)(5) for changes in rate structure.E x yO'-ԍ 47 C.F.R. 61.58(c)(5).E For any LEC that" b 0*((y" elects to submit such a filing after November 17, 1997, but before December 17, 1997, we hereby grant a waiver of the notice requirement of section 61.58(c)(5) for the purposes of making that filing. The dates for filing petitions for rejection or suspension and investigation as well as the dates for LEC replies related to such tariff filings are specified in Attachment 3.  X- D.xService  X_-x6. Because there is limited time available for review of the TRPs, complete tariff filings, comments, and replies, we hereby waive the service requirement set forth in section  X1-1.47(d) of the Commission's rules for these filings.A1x yO -ԍ 47 C.F.R. 1.47(d).A On the date one of these filings is submitted to the Commission, it shall be served upon a party, his attorney, or other duly constituted agent by hand delivery or by fax transmission. Parties are instructed to provide contact persons and fax numbers in their filings. Price cap LECs are directed to serve the TRP and accompanying cost studies upon all persons that filed comments on the proposed  X -TRP in response to the Common Carrier Bureau's Public Notice of October 15, 1997.  Xx yO-ԍ Common Carrier Bureau Seeks Comments Regarding Revisions to Tariff Review Plans to Incorporate Changes Pursuant to CC Docket No. 96262, Public Notice, DA 972207 (rel. Oct. 15, 1997).  X- E.xConfidentiality x7. We recognize that entering protective agreements between parties concerning review of confidential material can take several days. However, in light of the limited time available for parties to review the TRPs, we are concerned that the time spent making confidentiality agreements after filings are made could be better used reviewing the TRPs themselves. Therefore, we ask that LECs that will need to make confidential material available for review make the necessary agreements in advance. Parties that desire to review a TRP should contact the appropriate LEC about making the agreement in advance.  X-  III. ORDERING CLAUSES ĐTP x8.
