AT&T Granted LNP Waiver
In Order FCC 06-97, the Commission granted the AT&T petition requesting a waiver of section 61.45(d) of the rules to permit it to treat its unrecovered carrier-specific local number portability ("LNP") costs as an exogenous cost adjustment and to recover those costs from end users via the end-user common line ("EUCL") charge. AT&T estimated that the proposed exogenous cost adjustment would range from 24 to 37 cents and would last for two years in the Southwestern Bell region and one year in the Ameritech and PacBell regions.
