· Verizon should configure its order processing system in order to charge separate rates depending on whether the CLC employs a mechanized, semi-mechanized, or manual system to place its order.

· Verizon should separate its charges for initial and additional orders so that CLCs only pay for additional orders when they make them.

· Verizon should not collect disconnect charges in advance, as it proposes, because this is a requirement placed on CLCs that Verizon does not bear itself.

· Verizon should charge separately for Record Orders so that only those CLCs that actually make record changes pay the charge.

· Verizon should add a markup of 22% to its nonrecurring charges, once the changes above are made.
