Independent LECs wishing to offer international, Interexchange services must comply with the separate affiliate requirements of the Competitive Carrier Fifth Report and Order in order to do so. One of these requirements is that the independent LEC’s international, Interexchange affiliate must maintain books of account separate from such LEC’s local exchange and other activities. This regulation does not require that the affiliate maintain books of account that comply with the Commission’s Part 32 rules; rather, it refers to the fact that as a separate legal entity, the international, interexchange ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55551 affiliate must maintain its own books of account in the ordinary course of its business. This recordkeeping requirement is used by the Commission to ensure that independent LECs providing international, interexchange services through a separate affiliate are in compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and with Commission policies and regulations.
