For similar reasons, we reverse the Court of Appeals' determinations that the Commission had no jurisdiction to promulgate rules regarding state review of pre-existing interconnection agreements between incumbent LECs and other carriers, regarding rural exemptions, and regarding dialing parity. See 47 CFR 51.303, 51.405, and 51.205-51.215 (1997). None of the statutory provisions that these rules interpret displaces the Commission's general rulemaking authority. While it is true that the 1996 Act entrusts state commissions with the job of approving interconnection agreements, 47 U. S.

When an LEC provides toll dialing parity, it permits its local service customers within a given calling area "to make a local telephone call notwithstanding the identity of the customer's or the called party's telecommunications service provider." 47 C.F.R. § 51.207. LECs are required to implement toll dialing parity throughout their service areas. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 51.205, .209, .211, .213. Upon meeting this requirement for all interLATA and intraLATA toll services, an LEC's provision of these services is removed from price cap regulation. This portion of the Pricing Flexibility Order is not challenged in this case. 2. Future Pricing Flexibility The FCC order also provides for additional pricing flexibility once an LEC shows that certain competitive thresholds
