§  69.713   Common line, traffic-sensitive, and tandem-switched transport
services.

   (a) Scope. This paragraph governs requests for pricing flexibility with
   respect to the following services:

   (1) Common line services, as described in § § 69.152, 69.153, and
   69.154.

   (2) Services in the traffic-sensitive basket, as described in
   § 61.42(d)(2) of this chapter.

   (3) The traffic-sensitive components of tandem-switched transport
   services, as described in § § 69.111(a)(2)(i) and (ii).

   (b) Phase I triggers. (1) To obtain Phase I pricing flexibility, as
   specified in § 69.727(a), for the services identified in paragraph (a)
   of this section, a price cap LEC must provide convincing evidence that,
   in the relevant area as described in § 69.707, its unaffiliated
   competitors, in aggregate, offer service to at least 15 percent of the
   price cap LEC's customer locations.

   (2) For purposes of the showing required by paragraph (b)(1) of this
   section, the price cap LEC may not rely on service the competitors
   provide solely by reselling the price cap LEC's services, or provide
   through unbundled network elements as defined in § 51.5 of this
   chapter, except that the price cap LEC may rely on service the
   competitors provide through the use of the price cap LEC's unbundled
   loops.

   (c) [Reserved]
