Needs and Uses: The Commission has developed standardized Tariff
Review Plans (TRPs) that set forth the summary material that incumbent
LECs (ILECs) file to support revisions to the rates in their interstate
access service tariffs. The TRPs display basic data on rate development
in a consistent manner, thereby facilitating review of the ILEC rate
revisions by the Commission and interested parties. The TRPs have
served this purpose effectively in past years.
Federal Communications Commission.
