§  64.2111   Covered provider rural call completion practices.

   For each intermediate provider with which it contracts, a covered
   provider shall:

   (a) Monitor the intermediate provider's performance in the completion
   of call attempts to rural telephone companies from subscriber lines for
   which the covered provider makes the initial long-distance call path
   choice; and

   (b) Based on the results of such monitoring, take steps that are
   reasonably calculated to correct any identified performance problem
   with the intermediate provider, including removing the intermediate
   provider from a particular route after sustained inadequate
   performance.
