North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 04 - COMMERCE › Chapter 11 - UTILITIES COMMISSION › Chapter 21 › Section 11 R21-04 - TERMINATION OF SERVICE TO CLPS BY UNDERLYING CARRIERS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a)
				An underlying carrier shall not terminate service to a CLP except as authorized
				under its interconnection agreement with the CLP; provided, however, that an
				underlying carrier shall not under any circumstances terminate service to a CLP
				because of (i) a default by a third party not affiliated with the CLP or (ii) a
				default occurring outside North Carolina that does not constitute failure to
				pay for North Carolina services. For good cause shown, the Commission may
				authorize an underlying carrier to terminate service to a CLP for failure to
				pay for services provided in another state, if termination under such
				circumstances is expressly provided for in the parties' interconnection
				agreement.
(b) In the case of
				billing disputes between a CLP and an underlying carrier, the parties shall
				make a good faith effort to work with each other in determining what portion,
				if any, of the bill for resale, unbundled network elements, or other services
				provided by the underlying carrier to the CLP is disputed and which portion is
				undisputed. The underlying carrier shall work with the CLP to resolve the
				billing dispute and arrange for payment of the outstanding charges, pursuant to
				the interconnection agreement between the underlying carrier and the
				CLP.
(c) In the event that the
				underlying carrier intends to cease providing service to the CLP for nonpayment
				or any other reason, it shall send to the CLP a notice of intent to disconnect
				or deny services to the CLP pursuant to the current interconnection agreement
				between the carriers. A copy of the notice(s) shall be filed with the
				Commission.
(d) The underlying
				carrier shall state the following in the notice:
(1) The name, address and account number of
				the CLP;
(2) A plain statement of
				the grounds upon which the right to disconnect or deny is founded, including
				the total amount owed, the non-disputed amount owed, the disputed amount owed,
				and the amount required to be paid to avoid interruption of service. If the
				underlying carrier provides service to the CLP in North Carolina and also in
				one or more other states, the portions of these amounts applicable to North
				Carolina services shall be stated separately; and
(3) The exact date and time or range of dates
				and times the underlying carrier seeks to have service discontinued.
