A charge that is expressed in dollars and cents per access minute is assessed on all users of switched access that use switching or transmission facilities that are apportioned to the transport element for purposes of apportioning net investment.
A per minute charge is computed by dividing the annual intrastate transport revenue requirement by the annual intrastate transport minutes of use. The per minute charge is not distance sensitive. The per minute charge is equal for both originating and terminating traffic.
