Deployment of Wireline Services Offering Advanced Telecommunications Capability

This document addresses a petition for clarification or partial reconsideration of the Collocation Remand Order (66 FR 43516, August 20, 2001). The document makes clear that nothing in the Collocation Remand Order disavows any federal jurisdiction the Commission otherwise has to resolve cross-connect disputes. It also concludes that, under section 201(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Communications Act or Act), incumbent LECs must include cross-connect offerings made under section 201 in federal tariffs. This document further concludes that in certain limited circumstances incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) may rely on individual case basis pricing when establishing rates for cross-connects.
