(b) The maximum charge a non-price cap local exchange carrier that elects model-based support pursuant to §54.311 of this chapter or Alaska Plan support pursuant to §54.306 of this chapter may assess is the rate in effect on the last day of the month preceding the month for which model-based support or Alaska Plan support, as applicable, is first provided.
