Direct-trunked transport charges are based on the interoffice charges for equivalent voice grade, DS1, and DS3 special access services.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Direct-trunked transport charges may be distance sensitive. Mileage is measured as airline mileage between customer-designated points. If the carrier's carrier employs distance sensitive rates, a distance sensitive component is assessed for use of the transmission facilities, including intermediate transmission circuit equipment, between end points of the circuit and a nondistance sensitive component is assessed for use of the circuit equipment at the ends of the transmission links.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 21 SDR 81, effective November 3, 1994.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-1-11">49-1-11</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-5">49-31-5</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-18">49-31-18.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-18">49-31-18.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Cross-Reference:</b> Direct-trunked transport, 47 C.F.R. §&nbsp;69.112 (1993).</p> </div> </body> </html>
