§  69.707   Geographic scope of petition.

   (a) MSA. (1) A price cap LEC filing a petition for pricing flexibility
   in an MSA shall include data sufficient to support its petition, as set
   forth in this subpart, disaggregated by MSA.

   (2) A price cap LEC may request pricing flexibility for two or more
   MSAs in a single petition, provided that it submits supporting data
   disaggregated by MSA.

   (b) Non-MSA. (1) A price cap LEC will receive pricing flexibility with
   respect to those parts of a study area that fall outside of any MSA,
   provided that it provides data sufficient to support a finding that
   competitors have collocated in a number of wire centers in that non-MSA
   region sufficient to satisfy the criteria for the pricing flexibility
   sought in the petition, as set forth in this subpart, if the region at
   issue were an MSA.

   (2) The petitioner may aggregate data for all the non-MSA regions in a
   single study area for which it requests pricing flexibility in its
   petition.

   (3) A petitioner may request pricing flexibility in the non-MSA regions
   of two or more of its study areas, provided that it submits supporting
   data disaggregated by study area.
