§  53.207   Successor or assign.

   If a BOC transfers to an affiliated entity ownership of any network
   elements that must be provided on an unbundled basis pursuant to
   section 251(c)(3) of the Act, such entity will be deemed to be an
   "assign" of the BOC under section 3(4) of the Act with respect to such
   transferred network elements. A BOC affiliate shall not be deemed a
   "successor or assign" of a BOC solely because it obtains network
   elements from the BOC pursuant to section 251(c)(3) of the Act.
