d c) The carriers or ITAC, on their behalf, shall administer the ITAP so as to take full advantage of any economies of scale that may exist by centralizing the provision of ITAP services listed in Section 755.100. However, the carriers or ITAC, on their behalf, shall provide sufficient regional centers to insure a reasonable access to ITAP by persons with disabilities.
e d) The carriers may determine and propose to the Commission for approval, subject to the requirements of Section 7-101 and 7-102 of the Act [220 ILCS 5/7-101 and 7-102], a plan for joint execution and administration of ITAP. If the Commission approves a plan for joint execution and administration of ITAP through a not-for-profit corporation or other entity, all carriers shall join and participate fully in the plan for joint execution and administration.

No later amendment or edition of the "Guide for Prospective Financial Information" is included by this incorporation; and
5) Schedules for the projection period presenting the following information in the format of Sections 755.Exhibit A through 755.Exhibit M below:
A) A calculation of the proposed monthly line charge and assessment (Exhibit A);
B) A comparison of present and proposed line charges and assessment, as adjusted (Exhibit B);
C) A statement of revenues and expenses at present line charge and assessment, as adjusted (Exhibit C);

I) A depreciation schedule (Exhibit I); and
J) Comparative actual and projected balance sheets, at proposed line charge and assessment, as adjusted (Exhibit L).
b) For purposes of projecting subscriber lines and subscriptions for the projection period as required by subsection (a), it shall be assumed, with the exception of the 2011 calendar year period, that subscriber lines and subscriptions will increase or decrease annually, from the number of subscriber lines and subscriptions on December 31 of the prior calendar year reported by ITAC pursuant to subsection (a)(5)(H), at a weighted average growth rate.

f) ITAC shall make available to the Commission Staff all workpapers, documentation, and calculations supporting its annual filing.
