(1) "Transit record" is defined as telecommunications network transit traffic usage data and wireless telecommunications network transit traffic usage data pertaining to telecommunications traffic that an originating carrier delivers to a transiting carrier or carriers for delivery to a terminating carrier.

(a) The term does not mean traffic carried by interlocal access transport area carriers or providers of intralocal access transport area toll services.

(b) Such network usage data must be compiled in accordance with current telecommunications industry guidelines and in compliance with current ordering and billing forum (OBF) standards.

(2) To the extent the information has been transmitted by the originating carrier to the transiting carrier, transit records shall enable terminating carriers to identify originating carriers and other call information by means of a Category 11 or Category 11 type format record as defined in the EMR Bellcore Practice BR010 - 200 - 010, or a successor record adopted by the OBF, which enables a terminating carrier to identify each originating carrier's operating company number (OCN), or carrier identification code (CIC), or other call detail information necessary to identify, measure and appropriately charge for traffic that terminates on terminating carriers' networks.

(3) To the extent the information has been transmitted by the originating carrier to the transiting carrier, Category 11 or Category 11 type format records must provide terminating carriers with necessary call identification data such as the:

(a) the calling party number, including area code and number prefix;

(b) the called party number, including area code and number prefix;

(c) the date, time and duration of the call;

(d) the billed to number, including area code and number prefix;

(e) area code and number prefix; and

(f) related information associated with originating telecommunications traffic to enable the terminating carrier to identify, measure and appropriately charge the originating carrier for termination of local telecommunications service.

(4) Any transiting carrier shall deliver telecommunications traffic to a terminating carrier by means of facilities that enable the terminating carriers to receive from the originating carrier any and all information that the originating carrier or the interlocal access transport area carrier or intralocal access transport area toll provider of nonlocal telecommunications traffic transmits that enables the terminating carrier to identify, measure, and appropriately charge the originating carrier or the interlocal access transport area carrier or intralocal access transport area toll provider of nonlocal telecommunications traffic for the termination of its telecommunications traffic.
