Sec. 63.23  Resale-based international common carriers.

    The following conditions apply to carriers authorized to resell the 
international services of other authorized carriers:
    (a) A carrier authorized under Sec. 63.18(e)(2) may provide resold 
international services to international points for which the applicant 
qualifies for non-dominant regulation as set forth in Sec. 63.10, 
except that the carrier may not provide either of the following services 
unless it has received specific authority to do so under Sec. 
63.18(e)(3):
    (1) Resold switched services to a non-WTO Member country where the 
applicant is, or is affiliated with, a foreign carrier; and
    (2) Switched or private line services over resold private lines to a 
destination market where the applicant is, or is affiliated with, a 
foreign carrier and the Commission has not determined that the foreign 
carrier lacks market power in the destination market (see Sec. 
63.10(a)).
    (b) The carrier may not resell the international services of an 
affiliated carrier regulated as dominant on the route to be served 
unless it has received specific authority to do so under Sec. 
63.18(e)(3).
    (c) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the carrier 
may resell the international services of any authorized common carrier, 
pursuant to that carrier's tariff or contract duly filed with the 
Commission, for the provision of international basic switched, private 
line, data, television and business services to all international 
points.
    (d) The carrier may provide switched basic services over its 
authorized resold private lines in either of the following two 
circumstances:
    (1) The country at the foreign end of the private line appears on 
the Commission's list of international routes exempted from the 
international settlements policy set forth in Sec. 64.1002 of this 
chapter; or
    (2) The carrier is exchanging switched traffic with a foreign 
carrier that lacks market power in the country at the foreign end of the 
private line. A foreign carrier lacks market power for purposes of this 
section if it does not appear on the Commission's list of foreign 
carriers that do not qualify for the presumption that they lack market 
power in particular foreign points.

    Note to paragraph (d): The Commission's list of international routes 
exempted from the international settlements policy, and the Commission's 
list of foreign carriers that do not qualify for the presumption that 
they lack market power in particular foreign points are available on the 
International Bureau's World Wide Web site at http://www.fcc.gov/ib.

    (e) Any party certified to provide international resold private 
lines to a particular geographic market shall report its circuit 
additions on an annual basis. Circuit additions should indicate the 
specific services provided (e.g., IMTS or private line) and the country 
served. This report shall be filed on a consolidated basis not later 
than March 31 for the preceding calendar year.
    (f) The authority granted under this part is subject to all 
Commission rules and regulations and any conditions or limitations 
stated in the Commission's public notice or order that serves as the 
carrier's Section 214 certificate. See Sec. Sec. 63.12, 63.21 of this 
part.
