 | | In a series of proceedings, the Commission instituted a flat-rate 25 percent interstate allocation factor that would be phased in during an eight-year period, 1986 to 1993, subject to the limitation that a carrier's transitional interstate allocation factor would not decrease more than five percent each year (SPF transition). |
 | | The Order, however, clarified that the overriding purpose of the transition was to establish a 25 percent interstate allocation factor and that, once a carrier had reached a 25 percent allocation, nothing in the rules would permit it to change. |
 | | Even if the incorrect interstate allocations did not give rise to violations of our rate-of- return prescription, the overassignment means that some members of the NECA pool received greater interstate returns than the rules would allow at the expense of many members who suffered somewhat lower interstate rates of return. |
