S.D. Admin. R. 20:10:28:35
For telecommunications companies with 100,000 or more access lines, intrastate category 3 investment is apportioned to toll and other services based on the relationship of unweighted intrastate toll dial equipment minutes of use (DEM) to unweighted total intrastate DEM. To develop the toll relationship, unweighted intrastate toll DEM is divided by the sum of the unweighted intrastate toll and other services DEM. This result is applied to the intrastate category 3 investment.
For all other local exchange companies, category 3 investment is apportioned by the application of an intrastate allocation factor that is the lesser of either 85 percent or the DEM factor specified in the first paragraph of this section multiplied by a weighting factor of two. The total weighted DEM for intrastate toll and interstate is capped at 85 percent. Interstate weighted DEM plus intrastate weighted toll DEM must be less than or equal to 85 percent. If greater than 85 percent, intrastate weighted toll DEM is reduced to bring the combined weighted interstate and intrastate toll DEM to 85 percent.
