the maximum allowable carrier common line revenue as defined in Sec. 
61.46(d) of this chapter; or
    (2) The sum of the local switching, carrier common line and 
interconnection charge charges assessed on originating minutes on 
December 31, 1997, minus the local switching charges assessed on 
originating minutes.
    (b) To the extent that paragraph (a) of this section does not 
recover from interexchange carriers all permitted carrier common line 
revenue, the excess may be collected through a per-minute charge on 
terminating access calculated using the weighting method set forth in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (c) For each Carrier Common Line access element tariff, the premium

paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section. The non-premium charges shall be 
equal to .45 multiplied by the premium charges.
