PART 51-INTERCONNECTION SUBPART D-ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF INCUMBENT LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIERS Brief Description: This subsection generally implements section 251(c) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Section 51.230 provides that advanced services loop technologies are presumed acceptable for deployment under specific circumstances. It further provides that incumbent local exchange carriers cannot deny a carrier's request to deploy a technology that is presumed acceptable for deployment without first demonstrating to the relevant state commission that deployment of that technology would significantly degrade performance of other advanced services or traditional

We note that our unbundling rules for interoffice transmission network elements specify that transmission facilities include "all technically feasible capacity-related services, including, but

Moreover, were we to agree with Bell Atlantic, such an extension would only further delay the provisioning of the high frequency portion of the loop to competing carriers that seek to offer customers data services combined with incumbent voice services on a single line. Spectrum Management Issues Presumption that a Technology is Acceptable for Deployment Anywhere Background Section 51.230(a)(3) of the Commission's rules, as adopted in the Line Sharing Order, provides that an advanced services loop technology is presumed acceptable for deployment where the technology ``has been successfully deployed by any carrier without significantly degrading the performance of other services.'' In addition, section 51.230(b) of our rules provides that [a]n incumbent LEC may not deny a carrier's request to
