Tariffs contain the rates, terms and conditions of certain services provided by telecommunications carriers. The most common tariff filed at the FCC is for interstate local access service. These tariffs are filed by local exchange carriers, or LECs.

Long-distance companies and others pay the rates set out in these tariffs to LECs for access to local networks at the originating and/or terminating ends of a long-distance call. Access services include:

  • Switched access, used primarily for long-distance calls originating and/or terminating over a standard phone line.
  • Special access, a dedicated line provided by a local phone company to a customer, which could be a long-distance company, for the customer's exclusive use.
  • Access tariffs may also include rates and conditions for services that include DSL from certain carriers, packet-switched services, long-distance directory assistance access and other services.
