Sec.  20.11   Interconnection to facilities of local exchange carriers.

   (a)  A local exchange carrier must provide the type of interconnection
   reasonably requested by a mobile service licensee or carrier, within a
   reasonable  time after the request, unless such interconnection is not
   technically feasible or economically reasonable. Complaints against carriers
   under section 208 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 208, alleging a
   violation of this section shall follow the requirements of  Sec.  Sec. 1.7111.734 of
   this chapter, 47 CFR 1.7111.734.

   (b) Local exchange carriers and commercial mobile radio service providers
   shall comply with principles of mutual compensation.

   (1)  A  local  exchange carrier shall pay reasonable compensation to a
   commercial mobile radio service provider in connection with terminating
   traffic that originates on facilities of the local exchange carrier.

   (2)  A  commercial  mobile radio service provider shall pay reasonable
   compensation to a local exchange carrier in connection with terminating
   traffic that originates on the facilities of the commercial mobile radio
   service provider.

   (c) Local exchange carriers and commercial mobile radio service providers
   shall also comply with applicable provisions of part 51 of this chapter.

   (d) Local exchange carriers may not impose compensation obligations for
   traffic not subject to access charges upon commercial mobile radio service
   providers pursuant to tariffs.

   (e) An incumbent local exchange carrier may request interconnection from a
   commercial mobile radio service provider and invoke the negotiation and
   arbitration procedures contained in section 252 of the Act. A commercial
   mobile radio service provider receiving a request for interconnection must
   negotiate in good faith and must, if requested, submit to arbitration by the
   state commission. Once a request for interconnection is made, the interim
   transport and termination pricing described in  Sec. 51.715 of this chapter shall
   apply.
