DAR File No.: 43463

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 54-4-1 provides that the Public Service Commission (PSC) shall have the power to regulate and supervise all of the business of every such public utility in this state. Section 54-3-1 requires that all charges made, demanded, or received by an public utility, or by any two or more public utilities, for any product or commodity furnished or to be furnished, or for any service rendered or to be rendered, shall be just and reasonable.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received in the last five years.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule continues to be necessary so that the PSC may require companies to provide notice of their intent to curtail services or exit the market. This rule outlines the steps companies must take to inform the PSC, customers, other telecommunications carriers, and the public in general of the change in their operations in Utah's telecommunications and services markets. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
