   constitutes ten percent or less of the total traffic on the line.

   Subcategory 1.2—Interstate private lines and interstate WATS lines. This
   subcategory  shall include all private lines and WATS lines that carry
   exclusively interstate traffic as well as private lines and WATS lines
   carrying both state and interstate traffic if the interstate traffic on the
   line involved constitutes more than ten percent of the total traffic on the
   line.

   exchange service and exchange access for state and interstate interexchange
   services.
