Common use of Percent Interstate Usage Clause in Contracts

Percent Interstate Usage. For combined interstate and intrastate traffic carried over the same trunk groups, each Party will be required to provide a projected Percentage Interstate Usage (“PIU”) to the other Party. All jurisdictional report requirements, rules and regulations for Interexchange Carriers specified in BellSouth’s Intrastate Access Services Tariff will apply. After interstate and intrastate traffic percentages have been determined by use of PIU procedures, the PLU factor will be used for application and billing of local interconnection. Where the terminating Party has message recording technology that can be used to correctly identify the jurisdiction of traffic terminated as defined in this Agreement, such information, in lieu of the PIU and PLU factors, shall, at the terminating Party’s option, be utilized by the terminating Party to determine the appropriate local usage compensation to be paid. If a terminating Party elects to use its terminating recording technology information in lieu of originating Party self-reported factors, and the originating Party disputes the information used by the terminating Party, the originating Party shall provide the terminating Party with the originating Party’s documentation in support of the originating Party’s factors. If the Parties are still unable to resolve the matter, the Parties may pursue the dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement.
