§ 51.231   Provision of information on advanced services deployment.

   (a) An incumbent LEC must provide to requesting carriers that seek access to
   a loop or high frequency portion of the loop to provide advanced services:

   (1) Uses in determining which services can be deployed; and information with
   respect  to  the  spectrum management procedures and policies that the
   incumbent LEC.

   (2) Information with respect to the rejection of the requesting carrier's
   provision of advanced services, together with the specific reason for the
   rejection; and

   (3) Information with respect to the number of loops using advanced services
   technology within the binder and type of technology deployed on those loops.

   (b) A requesting carrier that seeks access to a loop or a high frequency
   portion of a loop to provide advanced services must provide to the incumbent
   LEC information on the type of technology that the requesting carrier seeks
   to deploy.

   (1) Where the requesting carrier asserts that the technology it seeks to
   deploy fits within a generic power spectral density (PSD) mask, it also must
   provide Spectrum Class information for the technology.

   (2) Where a requesting carrier relies on a calculation-based approach to
   support deployment of a particular technology, it must provide the incumbent
   LEC with information on the speed and power at which the signal will be
   transmitted.

   (c) The requesting carrier also must provide the information required under
   paragraph  (b) of this section when notifying the incumbent LEC of any
   proposed change in advanced services technology that the carrier uses on the
   loop.
