process for the preceding calendar year as well as the results of that
process. For any revisions to cost study results made or recommended by
the association that would change the respective carrier's calculated
annual common line or traffic sensitive revenue requirement by ten
percent or more, the report shall include the following information: 1)
the name of the carrier; 2) a detailed description of the revisions; 3)
