In CC Docket No. 91-141, the
Commission required Tier 1 LECs to provide expanded opportunities
for third-party interconnection with their interstate special
access facilities. The LECs will be permitted to establish a number
of rate zones within study areas in which expanded interconnection
is operational. These LECs must file and obtain approval of their
pricing plans, which will be used by FCC staff to ensure that the
tariff rates are just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory pursuant
to the Act.
