United States DC Circuit

Petition for review of defendant's orders is denied on the ground that plaintiff's disputed interconnection agreements do not authorize the recovery of line outage costs. Because its regulations require that all charges be set forth clearly and specifically, defendant reasonably interpreted the "all costs" language of the interconnection agreements as lacking the requisite specificity.
