The provider must provide a 9-1-1 jurisdiction(s) access to a Provider Customer Support Center, where the 9-1-1 jurisdiction may submit trouble reports 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, including provider observed holidays (‘covered hours”). The provider must accept trouble reports during covered hours. The provider must perform trouble isolation during the covered hours. If the provider and the 9-1-1 jurisdiction determine an on-site response is required the provider must complete response during covered hours for severity level 1 and severity level 2 incidents based on the following conditions:
