# §51.335. Notice of network changes: Confidential or proprietary information.

- (a) If an incumbent LEC claims that information otherwise required to be disclosed is confidential or proprietary, the incumbent LEC's public notice must include, in addition to the information identified in [§ 51.327(a)](/cfr/47/51.327.md?p=a), a statement that the incumbent LEC will make further information available to those signing a nondisclosure agreement.
- (b) **Tolling the public notice period.** Upon receipt by an incumbent LEC of a competing service provider's request for disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, the applicable public notice period will be tolled until the parties agree on the terms of a nondisclosure agreement. An incumbent LEC receiving such a request must amend its public notice as follows:
  - (1) On the date it receives a request from a competing service provider for disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, to state that the notice period is tolled; and
  - (2) **On the date the nondisclosure agreement is finalized, to specify a new implementation date.**
