§ 51.905   Implementation.

   (a) The rates set forth in this section are default rates. Notwithstanding
   any other provision of the Commission's rules, telecommunications carriers
   may agree to rates different from the default rates.

   (b) LECs who are otherwise required to file tariffs are required to tariff
   rates  no higher than the default transitional rates specified by this
   subpart.

   (1) With respect to interstate switched access services governed by this
   subpart,  LECs  shall tariff rates for those services in their federal
   tariffs.  Except  as expressly superseded below, LECs shall follow the
   procedures specified in part 61 of this chapter when filing such tariffs.

   (2) With respect to Transitional Intrastate Access Services governed by this
   subpart, LECs shall follow the procedures specified by relevant state law
   when filing such tariffs, price lists or other instrument (referred to
   collectively as “tariffs”).

   (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a carrier to file
   or maintain a tariff or to amend an existing tariff if it is not otherwise
   required to do so under applicable law.
