7. Negotiated Portions of Agreement

Section 252(e) of the Act provides that we may only reject an agreement (or portions thereof) adopted by negotiation if we find that the agreement (or portions thereof) discriminates against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement, or implementation of such agreement (or portion thereof) is not consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. No party or member of the public alleges that any negotiated portion of the agreement should be rejected. We find nothing in any negotiated portion of the agreement which results in discrimination against a telecommunications carrier not a party to the agreement, nor which is inconsistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity.
