    In March 1997, the Commission established accounting rules that 
require carriers to account for adverse federal antitrust judgments and 
post-judgments special charges. To receive recognition of its avoided 
cost of litigation, a carrier must demonstrate, in a request for 
special relief, the avoided costs of litigation by showing the amount 
corresponding to the additional litigation expenses discounted to 
present value, that the carrier reasonably estimates it would have paid 
if it had not settled. A carrier requesting recovery of the avoided 
costs of litigation must accompany its request with clear and 
convincing evidence that, without the settlement, it would have 
incurred the expenses it estimates. The evidence will vary according to 
the circumstances.
