Annual Adjustment of Revenue Threshold

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the 2000 revenue threshold used for 
classifying carriers for various accounting and reporting purposes is 
increased to $117 million. The 1996 Act mandates that the Commission 
adjusts the revenue threshold annually to reflect the effect of 
inflation.

DATES: Carriers exceeding the 2000 revenue threshold must file their 
initial cost allocation manual by July 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445-12th Street, SW, Room 
TW-A325, Washington, D.C. 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Debbie Weber, Accounting Systems 
Branch, Accounting Safeguards Division, Common Carrier Bureau at (202) 
418-0812.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This gives notice that the annual revenue 
threshold used for classifying carriers for various accounting and 
reporting purposes is increased to $117 million. Section 402(c) of the 
1996 Act mandates that we adjust this revenue threshold annually to 
reflect the effects of inflation since October 19, 1992, at which time 
the threshold was $100 million. In accordance with the Act, we adjust 
the threshold based on the ratio of the gross domestic product chain-
type price index (GDP-CPI) in the revenue year and the GDP-CPI for 
October 19,1992. The revenue threshold for 2000 was determined as 
follows:
    (1) October 19, 1992 GDP-CPI--91.62
    (2) 2000 GDP-CPI--106.99
    (3) Inflation Factor (line 2<divide>line 1)--1.1678
    (4) Original Revenue Threshold--$100 million
    (5) 2000 Revenue Threshold (line 3 * line 4)--$117 million
