(a) Any utility may proceed with necessary construction, in cases of emergency, after written or telephone communication with the commission establishing need and securing emergency approval from the commission, if:
(1) The utility complies with the rules and
regulations to the extent practicable under the circumstances; and
(2) the utility files immediately with the
commission an application as approved by the commission showing that the
construction will ultimately be brought into full conformity with the
regulations.
(b) A utility may proceed with construction of any electric supply line without submitting an application under K.A.R. 82-12-3, if all of the following requirements are met.
(1) Prior to beginning
construction, the utility shall give written notice to railroads and other
utilities having facilities within 1/2 mile of any contemplated electric supply
line construction or change in construction.
(2) The proposed electric supply line shall:
(A) be within the utility's certified area;
(B) not interfere with the supply
lines, tracks or facilities of other utilities or railroads; and

the proposed extension is to an extension previously made under this exception,
then the combined length of the proposed and original extensions shall be
considered as the length of the proposed extension for purposes of this
subsection. If the combined length exceeds 1/2 mile, then K.A.R. 82-12-3
application is required for the combined length.
