The calculations shall be based on data reported to the Commission in FCC Report 43-02. (See 47 CFR 43.21 ).

Specifically excluded are: accounts payable, accrued taxes, accrued interest, dividends payable, deferred credits and operating reserves, deferred taxes and deferred tax credits.60 FR 28545, June 1, 1995, as amended at 67 FR 5702, Feb. 6, 2002
