Each subordinate account is maintained by Frontier as a separate customer account with individual records. The summary master is also maintained as an individual account.
CLEC summary bills contain the total current charges for the subordinate bill amounts transferred to the summary bill. The summary bill contains the payment stub that should be included when making payments.

Thirty days after the closing statement a final bill will be produced. The format of the closing statement and the final bill is the same as current accounts.
