                                  ERRATUM

By the Chief, Competitive Pricing Division:            

      Adopted:  November 13, 1997                      Released:  November 13, 1997


      1.  This Erratum corrects the Second Order on Reconsideration and Memorandum Opinion
and Order in the above-captioned proceedings, FCC 97-368 (rel. Oct. 9, 1997).  That Order, inter
alia, modified the manner in which all incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) are to recover
amounts included in the transport interconnection charge.  In amending the rules to reflect these
changes, the Commission inadvertently omitted amendatory language to section 69.124, the rule that
describes how incumbent LECs that are not subject to price cap regulation calculate the transport
interconnection charge.  The Appendix to the Order is corrected to add the following language
amending Section 69.124 of the Commission's rules: 

 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) 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) 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).
