Sec.  20.15   Requirements under Title II of the Communications Act.

   (a) Commercial mobile radio services providers, to the extent applicable,
   must comply with sections 201, 202, 206, 207, 208, 209, 216, 217, 223, 225,
   226, 227, and 228 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 201, 202, 206, 207,
   208, 209, 216, 217, 223, 225, 226, 227, 228; part 68 of this chapter, 47 CFR
   part 68; and  Sec.  Sec. 1.7011.748, and 1.815 of this chapter, 47 CFR 1.7011.748,
   1.815.

   (b) Commercial mobile radio service providers are not required to:

   (1) File with the Commission copies of contracts entered into with other
   carriers  or comply with other reporting requirements, or with  Sec.  Sec. 1.781
   through  1.814 and 43.21 of this chapter; except that commercial radio
   service providers that offer broadband service, as described in  Sec. 1.7001(a)
   of this chapter or mobile telephony are required to file reports pursuant to
    Sec.  Sec. 1.7000 and 43.11 of this chapter. For purposes of this section, mobile
   telephony is defined as real-time, two-way switched voice service that is
   interconnected with the public switched network utilizing an in-network
   switching  facility that enables the provider to reuse frequencies and
   accomplish seamless handoff of subscriber calls.

   (2)  Seek  authority  for  interlocking  directors (section 212 of the
   Communications Act);

   (3) Submit applications for new facilities or discontinuance of existing
   facilities (section 214 of the Communications Act).

   (c) Commercial mobile radio service providers shall not file tariffs for
   international and interstate service to their customers, interstate access
   service, or international and interstate operator service. Sections 1.771
   through  1.773  and  part  61  of  this  chapter are not applicable to
   international and interstate services provided by commercial mobile radio
   service providers. Commercial mobile radio service providers shall cancel
   tariffs  for  international and interstate service to their customers,
   interstate  access  service, and international and interstate operator
   service.

   (d) Except as specified as in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2), nothing in this
   section shall be construed to modify the Commission's rules and policies on
   the provision of international service under part 63 of this chapter.

   (1)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  Sec. 63.21(c) of this chapter, a
   commercial mobile radio service provider is not required to comply with
    Sec. 42.10 of this chapter.

   (2) A commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider that is classified as
   dominant under  Sec. 63.10 of this chapter due to an affiliation with a foreign
   carrier is required to comply with  Sec. 42.11 of this chapter if the affiliated
   foreign  carrier  collects  settlement payments from U.S. carriers for
   terminating U.S. international switched traffic at the foreign end of the
   route. Such a CMRS provider is not required to comply with  Sec. 42.11, however,
   if it provides service on the affiliated route solely through the resale of
   an unaffiliated facilities-based provider's international switched services.

   (3) For purposes of paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section, affiliated
   and foreign carrier are defined in  Sec. 63.09 of this Chapter.

   (e) For obligations of commercial mobile radio service providers to provide
   local number portability, see  Sec. 52.1 of this chapter.
