Part 32 cost data do not serve any regulatory purpose under price cap regulation, USTelecom toldnFCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn Tuesday, an ex parte filing said (http://bit.ly/Y2yHVI). USTelecomnhas requested forbearance from several legacy regulations. Part 32 accounting rules were put in place fornratemaking purposes under cost-based regulation and don’t serve any regulatory purpose now, the associationnof ILECs said. Clyburn asked USTelecom to address concerns raised in an ex parte letter from statenmembers of the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service, USTelecom reported. In response, USTelecomnemphasized that if granted, the relief it seeks “would not undermine the jurisdictional separationsnprocess,” it said. Nor would the relief preempt state public service commission authority to obtain accountingninformation “necessary to carrying out state functions,” it said.
