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