Federal Communications CommissionFCC 11-161savings.15.Even taking this conservative approach, staff estimates consumer benefits averagingapproximately 1.5 billion a year between 2016 and 2018. This does not include any estimate of savingsto carriers as a result of reduced ICC disputes, or the value of increased certainty in ICC receipts andobligations. These omissions are especially significant given that the 1.5 billion benefits estimatereflects a comparison of ICC revenues under reform to a trended no-reform baseline: ICC paymentdeclines under the no-reform baseline would likely be accompanied by significant and growing billingdisputes, which impose real costs on carriers, and ultimately consumers. Reform reduces total ICCpayments without imposing these costs. Given this, and given the other ways in which the 1.5 billionestimate is conservative, staff concluded that actual benefits to consumers are likely to fall somewherebetween this amount and the 2.6 billion upper bound described above, derived based on untrended 2010revenues. For example, were one to simply take the midpoint between these values, it would beapproximately 2.1 billion per year.Consumer Payments: Access Recovery Charges16.Weighed against these consumer benefits, staff estimated that, at their peak, the annualcost to consumers of ARC increases will likely be less than 500 million per year, including ARCs paidby businesses, which we expect will be passed through, in whole or in part, to customers, and ARCs paidby consumers directly. The total ARCs that carriers will be permitted to charge under the Order willreach a peak of approximately 800 million across all end users in 2017 (i.e., including consumers,single-line businesses, and multi-line businesses), and then decline gradually over time with decreases incarriers' Eligible Recovery.2s The ARC increases that consumers and businesses actually see, however,are likely to be 25 to 50 percent less than allowed ARC increases, on average?6 Applying this 25 to 50percent discount to peak allowable ARC implies that, at their peak year, all end users will likely pay atotal of approximately 500 million, and will pay less in preceding and subsequent years. Staff assumedthat businesses will pass 100 percent of ARC increases onto their customers,27 and therefore we estimatetotal consumer costs will reach approximately 500 million in the peak. year.17.Comparing this amount to the estimated consumer benefits ofICC reform implies thatconsumer benefits are likely to outweigh ARC payments by more than 3 to 1, based on a conservativeestimate of benefits.2SSee supra para. 852.See, e.g., Reply Comments of AT&T Inc. on the Missoula Plan for Intercarrier Compensation Reform. CC DocketNo. 01-92, filed Feb. 1,2007, Exhibit 1 at n. 11 (noting that carriers likely cannot charge full permitted recoverycharges on all customers); see also tivell-06Final.pdf(estimating carriers realize as little as 40 percent recovery of lost ICC revenues from permitted fixed chargeincreases).2627 This differs from staffs assumption about multiline businesses' pass through of savings, see supra note 21, wherestaff assumed only 75 percent pass through. Using a higher estimate for cost pass through than for savings passthrough makes the estimate of the ratio of consumer payments to consumer benefits conservative.647
