  §  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
   § 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.
