Mandatory Detariffing of Interstate and International Interexchange Services
Domestic Interstate Interexchange Services
Non dominant carriers are permitted (but not required) to file limited tariffs
for the offering of domestic interstate interexchange services for:
- Dial around 1+ services (1010XXX)
- Customers who subscribe to their domestic interstate interexchange services
indirectly through a local exchange carrier. Such a tariff will be applicable
to the customer until the parties consummate a written agreement but in
no event for more than a 45 day period.
Non dominant carriers must also comply with:
- Section 47 C.F.R. § 42.10 - Public availability of information concerning
interexchange services.
- Section 47 C.F.R. § 64.1900 - Carrier certifications regarding geographic
averaging and rate integration requirements. In 2001, this was due on August
1, and will be due on May 1 each year thereafter. These certifications should
be addressed to the Attn: Assistant Division Chief, Pricing Policy Division,
Room 5-A121.

and Section 226 of the Act. Even in cases where tariffs are retained for

of the Act.
