service records, shall be provided by the telephone company upon
request of the building owner or agent thereof. The telephone company

Commission is requesting an extension (no change in the recordkeeping
and/or third party disclosure requirements) of this information
collection. There is a change to the estimated number of respondents/
responses and annual burden hours. The Commission adopted accounting
rules that require carriers to account for adverse federal antitrust
judgments and postjudgment special charges. With regard to settlements
of such lawsuits there will be a presumption that carriers can recover
the portion of the settlement that represents the avoidable costs of
litigation; provided that the carrier makes a required showing. To
receive recognition of its avoided cost of litigation a carrier must
demonstrate, in a request for special relief, the avoided costs of
litigation by showing the amount corresponding to the additional
litigation expenses discounted to present value, that the carrier
reasonably estimates it would have paid if it had not settled.
Settlement costs in excess of the avoided costs of litigation are
presumed not recoverable unless a carrier rebuts that presumption by
showing the basic factors that enticed the carrier to settle and
demonstrating that ratepayers benefited from the settlement. A carrier requesting.
