Section 3.53.190. Procedures for changing an authorized telecommunications carrier.

	(a)  The provisions of 47 C.F.R. 64.1100 - 64.1195, revised as of April 2, 2001, are adopted by reference and set out the procedures for changing a subscriber's authorized intrastate, local exchange, or interstate telecommunications carrier in this state. The procedures adopted by this section also apply to an interstate telecommunications carrier providing international telecommunications service in this state.  
	(b)  Notwithstanding (a) of this section, an intrastate interexchange or local exchange carrier that has not received a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the commission may not solicit, collect, or submit authorization to reassign a subscriber's access line.  
	(c)  The requirements of (a) and (b) of this section do not apply if a local exchange carrier requests another local exchange carrier to modify the underlying arrangement by which the requesting local exchange carrier provides services to its own existing customers, such as changing service from resale to unbundled loop.  
	(d)  The commission will waive the assessment of penalties or other enforcement action against a telecommunications carrier that complies with carrier-change rules of the Federal Communications Commission that are more recent than those adopted under (a) of this section.  
	(e)  A local exchange, intrastate interexchange, or interstate telecommunications carrier that provides service in this state and files a report with the Federal Communications Commission under 47 C.F.R. 64.1180 shall file a copy of that report with the commission.
