This determination fixes the total 'pie' of regulatory costs that carriers must collectively cover for the 2006-07 year."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2008l01060","history":"/api/acts/f2008l01060/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2008l01060/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2008l01060/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2008l01060/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2008l01060/documents"}}
