Longitudinal and Wireless Access to Interstate Highway Rights-of-Way for Installation of Telecommunications Facilities

Notice of Proposed Rule

(Repeal and Reenact)

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this rule change is to eliminate the need to publish notice when a telecommunication provider expresses interest in locating within the interstate right-of-way, because longitudinal access is now open all the time for all telecommunication providers. This change is also supported by the fact that the vast majority of deals with telecommunication providers have been to barter for fiber strands in other areas in exchange for the right to UDOT excess capacity or for the ability to trench in the interstate right-of-way.

Summary of the rule or change:

The rule change will eliminate the requirement to advertise the opening of longitudinal access in the interstate right-of-way and related language and makes access always open to allow telecommunication companies faster access to complete their projects on time and to eliminate barriers to conducting business. The new rule adds a definition of the Telecommunication Advisory Council and adds a section on public involvement in the process of granting permits for longitudinal access through public meetings of the Telecommunications Advisory Council. The rule change will also correct references to other department rules that have been changed since the original enactment of this rule and eliminate unnecessary or repetitive language.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 72-1-201
  • Section 72-7-108
  • Section 54-8b-1
  • Section 72-7-109

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

Eliminating the requirement to advertise the opening of longitudinal access in the interstate right-of-way will provide a more consistent process for placement of telecommunication facilities, and will create a cost saving to the state budget by eliminating an administrative step.

local governments:

There is no cost or savings to local government because they are not involved in longitudinal access in the interstate right-or-way.

small businesses:

Small telecommunications companies will have the same ability to access the interstate right-of-way for telecommunication facilities as larger companies. By providing non-exclusive access to all telecommunications companies, the cost saving can be substantial but vary significantly depending on the circumstances.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

There are no anticipated costs or savings to persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local government entities because the rule only applies to longitudinal access to interstate right-of-way for telecommunications companies.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There are no anticipated compliance costs because the changes to the rule only streamline the process to request longitudinal access to interstate right-of-way for telecommunications companies.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

Any fiscal impact to businesses resulting from this rule changes will be positive because the changes keep longitudial access availability open to all telecommunication companies and eliminate the requirement to advertise longitudinal access, making the process more efficient for the department and for telecommunications companies.

R907. Transportation, Administration.

[ R907-64. Longitudinal and Wireless Access to Interstate Highway Rights-of-Way for Installation of Telecommunications Facilities.

R907-64-1. Purpose.

The purpose of this rule is to implement a program for facilitating longitudinal access and wireless access to interstate highway rights-of-way to provide for the installation, operation and maintenance of wireline and wireless telecommunications facilities in the rights-of-way. This rule recognizes the importance of quality of infrastructure of the Interstate System and that the safety and convenience of users of the Interstate System must be preserved to the greatest extent possible. Compatible with this principle, the rule also permits the use of the rights-of-way of the Interstate System for telecommunications facilities that support Federal and State laws that encourage competition in telecommunications services and the deployment of advanced telecommunications technologies. The Department shall, through designated personnel, facilitate such installations and maintenance of such facilities, which comply with the criteria established by this rule.

 

R907-64-2. Authority.

Subsection 72-7-108(2)(a) states that, except as provided in Subsection (4), the Department may allow a Telecommunication Facility Provider longitudinal access to the right-of-way of a highway on the Interstate System for the installation, operation, and maintenance of Telecommunication Facility.

 

R907-64-3. Definitions.

(1) "Department" means the Department of Transportation.

(2) "Clear Zone" means the total roadside border area, starting at the edge of the traveled way, available for safe use by errant vehicles. The width of the clear zone is dependent upon the traffic volumes, speeds and the roadway geometry.

(3) "Interstate System" means any existing or future highway included as a part of the national system on interstate and defense highways, as provided in the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and any supplemental or amendatory acts, and which primarily consist of Interstate Highways I-15, I-215, I-70, I-80, and I-84.

(4) "Longitudinal access" means access to or use of any part of a right-of-way of a highway on the Interstate System that extends generally parallel to the right-of-way for a total of 30 or more linear meters.

(5) "Permit" means a document issued by the Department of Transportation to a Telecommunications Facility Provider which specifies the requirements and conditions under which longitudinal or wireless access to highway right-of-way of the Interstate System shall be allowed.

(6) "Right-of-way" means real property or an interest in real property, usually in a strip, acquired for or devoted to a highway.

(7) "Telecommunication Facility" means any telecommunication cable, line, fiber, wire, conduit, innerduct, access manhole, handhole, tower, pedestal, pole, box, transmitting equipment, receiving equipment, power equipment or other equipment, system and device used to transmit, receive, produce or distribute via wireless, wireline, electronic, or optical signal for communication purposes.

(8) "Telecommunications Facility Provider" means any owner or operator of a Telecommunication Facility.

(9) "Utility" includes telephone, wireline and wireless, gas, electricity, cable television, water, and sewer transmission lines, drainage and irrigation systems, and other similar utilities located in, on, along, across, over, through, or under any highway of the State Highway System.

(10) "Wireless access" means access to and use of any part of a right-of-way or rights-of-way on, any highway of the Interstate System for the purpose of constructing, installing, maintaining, using and operating Telecommunication Facilities for wireless telecommunications.

 

R907-64-4. Access Policy.

(1) Telecommunication facility accommodations on the Interstate System shall comply with the federal utilities accommodations policies set forth in 23 CFR 645 (1997): "It is in the public interest for utility facilities to be accommodated on the right-of-way when such use and occupancy of the highway right-of-way do not adversely affect highway or traffic safety, or otherwise impair the highway or its aesthetic quality, and do not conflict with the provisions of Federal, State or local laws or regulations."

(2) The Department also acknowledges that recent Federal and State Legislation, primarily the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 70 (Feb. 8, 1996) and Utah Code Section 54-8b-1, encourage competition in the provision of telecommunications services, and the development and deployment of advanced telecommunication technologies, infrastructure, and networks. These legislative initiatives in turn have increased demand for rights-of-way, including highway rights-of-way, for the installation of Telecommunication Facilities necessary to support increased competition and deployment of an advanced telecommunication infrastructure.

(3) The Department also recognizes that longitudinal access and wireless access for Telecommunication Facilities may be provided without compromising highway integrity, safety, normal highway operation or maintenance activities, while contributing to the deployment and efficient operation of intelligent transportation systems.
