                             ERRATA

Adopted:  December 21, 1999             Released:  December 22, 1999

By the Chief, Accounting Policy Division:

     On November 2, 1999, the Federal Communications Commission released the Inputs
Order.  Due to a typographical error, two regression equations in Appendix C of that Order
contained an incorrect coefficient value of 1,080,000, rather than 10,800,000.  The correct
coefficient was used in calculating the switching cost input values, however, so the corrections
below have no effect on and do not change the input values adopted in the Inputs Order.  These
errata amend the Inputs Order as follows:

  ·  Amend the second equation on page C-2 to read as follows:

  "Cost = 11,110 + 10.32*Lines - 402,400*Host + 2,205,000*(1/Time) + 1,121*Lines*(1/Time) + 10,800,000*Host*(1/Time)".
  
  ·  Amend the last equation on page C-2 to read as follows:
  
"Host fixed cost = (1.01)*(1.013)*(11,110   402,400 + 2,205,000*(1/15) + 10,800,000*(1/15)) = 486,700".
