Section 20:10:28:26 - Apportionment of cost of auxiliary service boards

Auxiliary service boards generally handle rate and route, information, and intercept service at individual or joint positions. The cost of these boards is apportioned as follows:

(1) The cost of separate directory assistance boards is apportioned among the operations on the basis of the relative number of weighted standard work seconds handled at the boards under consideration. Directory assistance weighted standard work seconds are apportioned among the operations on the basis of the classification of these weighted standard work seconds as follows:

(a) Director assistance weighted standard work seconds first are classified between calls received over toll directory assistance trunks from operators or customers and all other directory assistance calls;

(b) The directory assistance weighted standard work seconds of each type further are classified separately among the operations based on an analysis of a representative sample of directory assistance calls of each type with reference to the locations of the calling and called stations for each call;

(2) The cost of separate intercept boards and automated intercept systems is apportioned among the operations on the basis of the relative number of subscriber line minutes of use;

(3) The cost of separate rate and route boards is generally included with the cost of the toll boards served and is apportioned with those boards;

(4) If more than one auxiliary service is handled at an auxiliary board, the cost of the board is apportioned among the auxiliary services based on the relative number of weighted standard work seconds for each service. The cost of that part of the board allocated to each auxiliary service is apportioned among the operations in the same manner as for a separate auxiliary board.
