Sec.  53.207  Successor or assign.

    If a BOC transfers to an affiliated entity ownership of any network 
elements that must be provided on an unbundled basis pursuant to section 
251(c)(3) of the Act, such entity will be deemed to be an ``assign'' of 
the BOC under section 3(4) of the Act with respect to such transferred 
network elements. A BOC affiliate shall not be deemed a ``successor or 
assign'' of a BOC solely because it obtains network elements from the 
BOC pursuant to section 251(c)(3) of the Act.
