As a cost company and member of the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) Traffic Sensitive Pool and Tariff# 5, you bill interstate rates established by NECA and filed with the FCC.Each month, you report certain demand items (e.g. interstate minutes of use, access lines) and revenues (e.g. end user subscriber line charge, federal universal service charge, switched and special access).In addition to these items, you report your average net investment and your expenses by pool (common line, switched and special).NECA in turn nets the difference between the revenues you reported and your revenue requirement (calculating the pool rate of return and determining your return on investment plus expenses) and notifies you of either the amount you will receive from them or the amount you owe to them.Staff at Kiesling Associates are available to report data to the NECA pools on your behalf.

If your state maintains pools to distribute revenues, Kiesling Associates Cost Consultants provide the cost study your state requires to determine your revenue requirement.
