It's not clear to me why Section 8.9 of TSB-31B would not be applicable.
It says in the background for this section:

  "The single frequency (SF) cutoff limitations in this section apply 
  only when the EUT has a through path connecting either voiceband 
  private lines, channels, or voiceband metallic channels to other
  network intervaces."

Nothing in the language of this section seems to specifically exclude
ONS interfaces (so long as they are "voiceband metallic"), right?  

Mr. Costa, please clarify.
