A charge that is expressed in dollars and cents per access minute of use is assessed on all users of switched access which use local exchange switching facilities for the provision of intrastate services.
A per minute charge is computed by dividing the annual intrastate local switching revenue requirement by the annual intrastate local switching access minutes of use. The per minute charge is equal for both originating and terminating traffic.
