calendar year describing the associations' cost study review process
for the preceding calendar year as well as the results of that process.
For any revisions to the cost study results made or recommended by the
association that would change the respective carrier's calculated
annual common line or traffic sensitive revenue requirement by ten
percent or more, the report shall include the following information:
(1) Name of the carrier;
(2) A detailed description of the revisions;
(3) The amount of the revisions;
(4) The impact of the revisions on the carrier's calculated common
line and traffic sensitive revenue requirements; and

compute revenue pool distributions. Neither process could be
