RULEMAKING
On December 14, 2005, the Commission opened this rulemaking docket regarding switched access rules. In petitions for intervention filed by interexchange carriers in all of the switched access revenue requirement dockets pending before the Commission, petitioners alleged deficiencies in the cost study methodologies embodied in the Commission's rules as applied by local exchange carriers. Petitioners indicated in their filings that their concerns involve industry-wide policy issues, such as the proper regulatory treatment of investments in joint-use plant serving both regulated and unregulated services. Petitioners suggested that a rulemaking proceeding might be the appropriate mechanism for consideration of these issues of general applicability.
