Abstract: The Commission modified its rules to eliminate the public interest showing previously required by section 69.49(g) of the Commission's rules and to enable price cap LECs to establish new access rate elements, in addition to the access rate elements currently required by section 69.4. The Commission eliminated the new services test in sections 61.49(f) and (g) for all new access services except for loop-based access services.
