Appendix A Filing Procedures for Companies filing TRPs on June 16, 1999 1. The TRPs--for ILECs with any rate increases--contained in Appendix B for price cap carriers, and Appendix C for rate of return companies should be filed on June 16, 1999. If an ILEC has all rate decreases, TRPs should be filed on June 24, 1999. All correspondence and comments in connection with these filings should be designated "1999 PRICE CAP REVISIONS." A. TRP Filing Requirements 2. In addition to filing their TRPs electronically through the Electronic Tariff Filing System, (ETFS) ILECs should also file their TRPs on diskette. ILECs should consult the distribution table at the end of this Appendix A, as to where to distribute their TRP copies. ILECs that maintain a Washington, D.C. office should have their Washington, D.C. office file their diskettes. ILECs that do not have a Washington, D.C. office are to send their diskettes via Overnight Courier, addressed to Raj Kannan, Competitive Pricing Division, Common Carrier Bureau 5 th floor, 445 12 th Street S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554. 3. To facilitate identification and cataloging of the price cap index revisions filing, carriers should note that: a. A 3.5-inch high-density disk containing a Lotus Release-3 TRP file will be sent directly to ILECs. ILECs using more recent versions of Lotus should nevertheless save the TRP in a Lotus Release-3 file; i.e. a WK3 file. A computer virus check will be conducted before the disk is sent, and the Division urges the ILECs to re-check the disk before filing. The computer file on the disk should be named COSAAN99 where "COSA" is the 4-character company study area code. b. ILECs should also file their TRPs using the Electronic Tariff Filing System on June 16 or 24, 1999 depending on the nature of the filing. Carriers experiencing any difficulty using ETFS can contact Todd Mitchell of the Competitive Pricing Division at 202-418-1555. B. Comments and Replies C 4. Comments on the annual access TRPs may be filed on or before June 23, 1999--for filings made on June 16, 1999--and June 28, 1999 for filings made on June 24, 1999. Parties should reference the general designation shown in paragraph 1 and specific ILECs if applicable. These comments should specify that they concern the 1999 PCI revisions in general or those of specific ILECs.

Reply comments should be submitted to the parties listed above; in addition, each petitioner should be served with a copy on, or before June 28, 1999, for petitions filed on June 23, 1999, and June 29, 1999 for petitions filed on June 28, 1999. 7.

ILECs are directed to serve their complete tariff filings, including accompanying cost studies, upon all persons who filed comments in the January 1, 1999 access tariff filing proceedings. Parties filing comments and replies electronically are reminded that they are still required to serve copies in accordance with Sections 47-1.773(a)(4) and (b)(3) of the Commission's rules, and as stated herein.
