Any charges for the underlying transport facilities between the carriers shall be limited to the construction and maintenance charges specified in R14-2-1303.C. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A), compensation arrangements may be made by mutual agreement between companies.D. If incumbent local exchange carriers and new entrant local exchange carriers do not arrive at compensation arrangements for local call termination by mutual agreement, they shall each file tariffs proposing permanent compensation mechanisms for terminating local calls within 18 months of the effective date of Commission approval of the first interconnection agreement pursuant to R14-2-1506.
