This decision follows a similar structure to that used by ICP-ANACOM for the determination of the methodology applied to calculate USNC, approved by determination of this Authority of 09.06.2011. Compliance by PTC with each aspect of the methodology will be assessed, and the analysis carried out by SVP, and any recommendations put forward further to the audit, will be taken into consideration. Reference to comments presented by PTC to the preliminary audit report will also be made. ICP-ANACOM will also state its opinion as regards estimates presented by PTC and recommendations submitted by the auditor.
The points and aspects raised in the scope of the prior hearing and public consultation concerning the DD of 11.04.2013 are presented and explained in detail in the respective hearing and consultation report, which is an integral part of this decision, and ICP-ANACOM's views and reasoning in relation to several issues are presented therein.
In the final part of this decision, the issues raised by SVP concerning possible discrepancies identified in calculations and/or data inputs as well the reconciliation of values with the CAS, and also situations which SVP itself qualified as having a negligible impact on the value of USNC, are examined.
