  Sec.  51.713   Bill-and-keep arrangements for reciprocal compensation.

   (a) For purposes of this subpart, bill-and-keep arrangements are those in
   which neither of the two interconnecting carriers charges the other for the
   termination of telecommunications traffic that originates on the other
   carrier's network.

   (b) A state commission may impose bill-and-keep arrangements if the state
   commission determines that the amount of telecommunications traffic from one
   network   to  the  other  is  roughly  balanced  with  the  amount  of
   telecommunications  traffic  flowing in the opposite direction, and is
   expected to remain so, and no showing has been made pursuant to  Sec. 51.711(b).

   (c) Nothing in this section precludes a state commission from presuming that
   the amount of telecommunications traffic from one network to the other is
   roughly balanced with the amount of telecommunications traffic flowing in
   the opposite direction and is expected to remain so, unless a party rebuts
   such a presumption.
