Sec. 352. (1) The rates of a provider of basic local exchange service for interconnection under this article shall be at the provider's total service long run incremental cost of providing the service.
(2) The rates for network elements and combinations of network elements, unbundled loops, number portability, and the termination of local traffic shall be the rates established by the commission.
(3) The rate of a network element shall not exceed either of the following:
(a) The tariffed or contract rate a retail customer or affiliate is or would be charged for the element, service, or its functional equivalent.
(b) The rate and other appropriate charges, or portions of charges, if any, to be determined by the commission, of a retail service which includes the same network element less the total service long run incremental costs of all other components that together form the same retail service.
(4) If the network element imputation test in subsection (3) is not met, the unbundled network element rate shall be reduced until the network element rate meets that standard.
(5) Existing network element rates may be revised or new network element rates established by the commission after notice and hearing. To initiate a proceeding under this subsection, a party shall file with the commission a petition to establish or alter network element rates. The petition shall clearly state the proposed rate or rates and include reasonable documentary support for the proposed rate or rates. If the petitioner seeks an increase to a previously commission ordered rate, the petitioner shall demonstrate that the proposed revision results from an increase in underlying cost and the increase in underlying cost has been reflected in retail rates.
