How long after Filing (or Commission receipt) does a CLEC tariff become effective?
A. Assuming that the Company filed all of the documentation properly, it takes about 1-2 months on average to get the application and the tariff approved. An analyst reviews the filing, writes comments and passes on the application to the upper management for review and to the Commission for decision. The analyst does not control the scheduling of the filing for the Administrative Meeting held before the Commission, where the Commission will ultimately decide to either accept or reject the filing. Thus, the approximate timing indicated is only an estimate and cannot be held as a precise time frame. A longer or shorter time period may be needed for the review and approval.
