IEEE 820-2005 is still the latest version for loop performance. However, the reference of "1984" in the rule needs to be replaced with "2005." The reference should be change[d] as [to] "(ANSI/IEEE Std 820-2005)."

•

At this time, staff will continue using the 1998 FCC Part 32 because it contains the required level of detail that fills our needs. Updated versions of Part 32 do not include some accounts and has combined other accounts. Also, the FCC has opened a rule making regarding accounting rules. Staff would prefer to maintain the current accounting requirements until the FCC's accounting rule changes are solidified, and until the potential effect of changes to intercarrier compensation on accounting needs can be determined, before making changes to the UTC's accounting rules. If the FCC decides to change the accounting rules in a significant way, then the UTC would be able to carefully analyze how its needs can be met through maintaining the federally required uniform system of accounts, whatever it might turn out to be, and then can decide what additional accounting requirements it may have.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This proposal would revise the adoption-by-reference dates to reflect the current version of adopted material and make other minor administrative changes in TITLE 480 WAC.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: The commission adopts by reference several parts in Title 18, 47 and 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and other state rules and national standards. This adoption package will make commission rules consistent with current published versions of federal rules, reflect the most current versions of the national safety standards and correct typographical, grammatical, and punctuation errors.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 80.01.040, 80.04.160, 81.04.160, and 34.05.353.

     Statute Being Implemented: Not applicable.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Washington utilities and transportation commission, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Betty Young, Compliance Investigator, 1300 South Evergreen Park Drive S.W., Olympia, WA 98504-7250, (360) 664-1202; Implementation and Enforcement: David W.
