Sec.  51.617   Assessment of end user common line charge on resellers.

   (a) Notwithstanding the provision in  Sec. 69.104(a) of this chapter that the end
   user common line charge be assessed upon end users, an incumbent LEC shall
   assess this charge, and the charge for changing the designated primary
   interexchange carrier, upon requesting carriers that purchase telephone
   exchange service for resale. The specific end user common line charge to be
   assessed  will  depend upon the identity of the end user served by the
   requesting carrier.

   (b)  When  an  incumbent  LEC provides telephone exchange service to a
   requesting carrier at wholesale rates for resale, the incumbent LEC shall
   continue to assess the interstate access charges provided in part 69 of this
   chapter, other than the end user common line charge, upon interexchange
   carriers that use the incumbent LEC's facilities to provide interstate or
   international telecommunications services to the interexchange carriers'
   subscribers.
