§912. Exemption for certain telephone utilities
The commission may adopt by rule standards and procedures for granting exemptions to a telephone utility or a specified group of telephone utilities from all or specified portions of this chapter. Any exemption granted pursuant to the rule must be accompanied by a finding that the exemption is in the public interest and will not have a negative impact on competitive markets for telephone services. The commission may limit an exemption to specific geographic areas. A utility granted an exemption pursuant to a rule adopted under this section remains subject to other applicable provisions of this Title and commission rules. [2001, c. 137, §5 (AMD).]
For good cause, as defined by the commission by rule, the commission may revoke any exemption granted pursuant to this section. A revocation may be in whole or in part and may be specific to a single telephone utility or a single utility service. [1997, c. 276, §2 (NEW); 1997, c. 276, §4 (AFF).]
Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II-A. [1997, c. 276, §2 (NEW); 1997, c. 276, §4 (AFF).]
