20:10:27:13.  Determination of billing and collection costs for a company granted an exemption from developing company-specific cost-based switched access rates. The billing and collection costs for a telecommunications company whose switched access rates are determined pursuant to § 20:10:27:12 are based on the average of such costs for all telecommunications companies with less than 100,000 access lines that determine their switched access rates pursuant to chapters 20:10:28 and 20:10:29. The billing and collection costs for all cost companies with less than 100,000 access lines for intraLATA and interLATA intrastate calls are removed from the revenue requirement reported for those companies prior to the calculation of switched access rates for exempted companies as described in § 20:10:27:12.
