1.5 Space Reclamation
1.5.1 In the event of space exhaust within a BellSouth Premises, BellSouth may include

justification of unutilized space within its Collocation Space, if the Commission
requires such justification.
1.5.2 BellSouth may reclaim unused Collocation Space when a BellSouth central office
is at, or near, space exhaustion and OTI cannot demonstrate that OTI will utilize
the Collocation Space within a reasonable time. In the event of space exhaust or
near exhaust within a BellSouth Premises, BellSouth will provide written notice to
OTI requesting that OTI release non-utilized Collocation Space to BellSouth,
