carrier-installed wiring on the customer's side of the demarcation 
point, including copies of existing schematic diagrams and service 
records. The information must be provided by the telephone company upon 
request of the building owner or agent thereof. The telephone company 
must charge the building owner a reasonable fee for this service, which 
shall not exceed the cost involved in locating and copying the 
documents. In the alternative, the telephone company may make these 
documents available for review and copying by the building owner. In

the issue of the accounting rules and ratemaking policies that should 
apply to litigation costs incurred by carriers subject to Part 32 of 
its rules and regulations. The Commission determined that there should 
be special rules to govern the accounting treatment of federal 
antitrust judgements and settlements, in excess of avoided costs of 
litigation, but not for litigation expenses. The Commission concluded 
that these special rules should not apply to costs arising in other 
kinds of litigation. To receive recognition of its avoided costs of
