Law Enforcement Act (47 U.S.C. 1001) is amended by adding at the end 
the following new paragraphs:
            ``(9) The term `installed' means equipment, facilities, or 
        services that are operable and available for use anywhere in a 
        carrier's network.
            ``(10) The term `deployed' means equipment, facilities, or 
        services that are available anywhere within the 
        telecommunications industry whether or not such equipment, 
        facilities, or services were installed or utilized within the 
        network of the carrier.
            ``(11) The term `significantly upgraded or otherwise 
        undergoes major modification' means a substantial change in a 
        carrier's system configuration, or hardware or software that 
        fundamentally alters the equipment, facility, or services. An 
        upgrade or modification performed by a carrier in the ordinary 
        course of business or one that is required by Federal or State 
        law shall not be deemed a significant upgrade or major 
        modification for purposes of this Act.
            ``(12) Compliance with section 103 or section 106 is not 
        `reasonably achievable' with respect to equipment, facilities, 
        or services that have been installed, deployed, replaced, 
        significantly upgraded, or otherwise undergone a major 
        modification before the date that is 24 months following 
        adoption of publicly available technical requirements or 
        standards by an industry association or standard-setting 
        organization, or by the Commission, as provided under section 
        107, to meet the requirements of section 103, whichever is
