Abstract
This document revises the Commission's presubscribed interexchange carrier (PIC)-change charge policies. PIC-change charges are federally-tariffed charges imposed by incumbent local exchange carriers on end-user subscribers when these subscribers change their long distance carriers. The report and order requires incumbent local exchange carriers to create separate PIC-change charges based on the method used to process the request. Based on cost information submitted in the record of the proceeding, the report and order adopts safe harbors below which PIC change charges will be considered reasonable. These safe harbors are $1.25 for electronically-processed PIC changes and $5.50 for manually- processed PIC changes.
