the arrangement applies wholly or partly to prepaid phone cards or facilities; and
(c)
to the extent that the arrangement applies to those cards or facilities, section

(2)
The determination has effect accordingly, unless either the intermediary or the principal notifies the other in writing, or both notify each other in writing, that:
