§  52.35   Porting Intervals.

   (a) Nine months after the NANC submits its port provisioning process
   flows to the Commission as provided in the 2009 LNP Porting Interval
   Order, all telecommunications carriers required by the Commission to
   port telephone numbers must complete a simple wireline-to-wireline or
   simple intermodal port request within one business day unless a longer
   period is requested by the new provider or by the customer. Small
   providers, as described in the 2009 LNP Porting Interval Order, must
   comply with this section 15 months after the NANC submits its port
   provisioning process flows to the Commission as provided in the 2009
   LNP Porting Interval Order. For purposes of this section, simple
   intermodal ports include wireline-to-wireless ports,
   wireless-to-wireline ports, and ports involving interconnected Voice
   over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service.

   (b) Unless directed otherwise by the Commission, any telecommunications
   carrier granted a waiver by the Commission of the one-business day
   porting interval described in paragraph (a) of this section must
   complete a simple wireline-to-wireline or simple intermodal port
   request within four business days unless a longer period is requested
   by the new provider or by the customer.

   (c) For purposes of this section, the term “telecommunications carrier”
   includes an interconnected VoIP provider as that term is defined in
   § 52.21(h).

   (d) Once effective as described in paragraph (a) of this section
   supersedes any porting interval requirements for simple wireline or
   simple intermodal port requests incorporated by reference in § 52.26.
