§ 64.2101 Definitions.
For purposes of this subpart, the following definitions will apply:
Affiliate. The term “affiliate” has the same meaning as in 47 U.S.C. 153(2).
Call attempt. The term “call attempt” means a call that results in
transmission by the covered provider toward an incumbent local exchange
carrier (LEC) of the initial call setup message, regardless of the voice
call signaling and transmission technology used.
Covered provider. The term “covered provider” means a provider of
long-distance voice service that makes the initial long-distance call path
choice for more than 100,000 domestic retail subscriber lines, counting the
total of all business and residential fixed subscriber lines and mobile
phones and aggregated over all of the providers' affiliates. A covered
provider may be a local exchange carrier as defined in § 64.4001(e), an
interexchange carrier as defined in § 64.4001(d), a provider of commercial
mobile radio service as defined in § 20.3 of this chapter, a provider of
interconnected voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service as defined in 47
U.S.C. 153(25), or a provider of non-interconnected VoIP service as defined
in 47 U.S.C. 153(36) to the extent such a provider offers the capability to
place calls to the public switched telephone network.
Initial long-distance call path choice. The term “initial long-distance call
path choice” means the static or dynamic selection of the path for a
long-distance call based on the called number of the individual call.
Intermediate provider. The term “intermediate provider” has the same meaning
as in § 64.1600(f).
Long-distance voice service. For purposes of subparts V and W, the term
“long-distance voice service” includes interstate interLATA, intrastate
interLATA, interstate interexchange, intrastate interexchange, intraLATA
toll, inter-MTA interstate and inter-MTA intrastate voice services.
Operating company number (OCN). The term “operating company number” means a
four-place alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a local exchange
carrier.
Rural OCN. The term “rural OCN” means an operating company number that
uniquely identifies an incumbent LEC (as defined in § 51.5 of this chapter)
that is a rural telephone company (as defined in § 51.5 of this chapter). The
term “nonrural OCN” means an operating company number that uniquely
identifies an incumbent LEC (as defined in § 51.5 of this chapter) that is
not a rural telephone company (as defined in § 51.5 of this chapter). We
direct NECA to update the lists of rural and nonrural OCNs annually and
provide them to the Wireline Competition Bureau in time for the Bureau to
publish the lists no later than November 15. These lists will be the
definitive lists of rural OCNs and nonrural OCNs for purposes of this
subpart for the following calendar year.
Effective Date Note: At 79 FR 73237 , Dec. 10, 2014, § 64.2101, paragraph (f)
was revised. This paragraph contains information collection and
recordkeeping requirements and will not become effective until approval has
been given by the Office of Management and Budget.
