Universal Citation: NV Admin Code 704.7487

Current through December 31, 2024

1. Any telecommunication provider other than a reseller proposing to discontinue total service to any city, town, county or other geographic area of the State must include in its notice to the Commission of the proposed discontinuance:

(a) Its proposed schedule;

(b) Its notice to the public of the discontinuance; and

(c) Evidence that sufficient alternative capacity exists to meet current demands to and from the area in which service is to be discontinued.

2. Protests against the proposal must be filed within 30 days after publication of the notice issued by the Commission. The Commission will act upon the proposal within 60 days after it is filed. A request for a hearing or protest must be sufficient to support a finding of the Commission that:

(a) There is insufficient alternative capacity to meet current demands to and from the area in which service is to be discontinued; and

(b) Authorizing the discontinuance of service would cause substantial harm to the public interest.

If such a finding is made by the Commission and the proposed discontinuance is suspended, the Commission will immediately schedule a hearing on the matter.

3. The provisions of this section do not apply to a competitive supplier.
