Annual Adjustment of Revenue Threshold

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the 2001 revenue threshold used for 
classifying carriers for various accounting and reporting purposes is 
increased to $119 million. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates 
that the Commission shall adjust the revenue threshold annually to 
reflect the effect of inflation.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Room TW-A325, Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Debbie Weber, Pricing Policy Division, 
Wireline Competition Bureau at (202) 418-0812.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This gives notice that the annual revenue 
threshold used for classifying carriers for various accounting and 
reporting purposes is increased to $119 million. Section 402(c) of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 mandates that we adjust this revenue 
threshold annually to reflect the effects of inflation since October 
19, 1992, at which time the threshold was $100 million. In accordance 
with the Act, we adjust the threshold based on the ratio of the gross 
domestic product chain-type price index (GDP-CPI) in the revenue year 
and the GDP-CPI for October 19,1992. The revenue threshold for 2001 was 
determined as follows:

(1) October 19, 1992 GDP-CPI: 91.62
(2) 2001 GDP-CPI: 109.37
(3) Inflation Factor (line 2  line 1): 1.1937
(4) Original Revenue Threshold: $100 million
(5) 2001 Revenue Threshold (line 3 * line 4): $119 million
