Chapter PSC 168 - Telecommunications Resellers And Resale
Section PSC 168.07 - Continuation of certification
Current through February 26, 2024
(1) A certificate issued under this chapter is subject to automatic expiration if the reseller fails to file the annual report required by s. PSC 168.12, and the fee required under sub. (2) if the certificated reseller is not subject to assessment under s. PSC 168.09(2). The expiration of a certificate shall be effective June 1 of the year in which the required report, or any fee required by this section, was not filed by April 1, or such later date as may be ordered by the commission.
(2) A reseller not subject to assessment under s. PSC 168.09(2) shall pay a fixed fee with the filing of the annual report. The commission by order may determine the amount of the fee and the permissible form or forms of payment. An annual report received by the commission that is not accompanied by a required fee in the proper amount or form of payment will not be considered a substantially complete annual report filing for purposes of s. PSC 168.13(1) (a) and may be returned.
Note The current fee is $100, payable in any check form or by money order. Cash is not acceptable.
(3) A reseller issued its initial certificate under s. PSC 168.06 afterJanuary 1 and on or before April 1 shall comply with this section commencing in the succeeding calendar year.
(4) Commencing upon December, 31, 1997, existing certificates of authority that are held by any type of alternative telecommunications utility and that authorize the holder to engage in any type of resale of intrastate telecommunications services, shall be treated as follows:
Note Under this paragraph resellers having interim authorization to provide alternative operator services under commission docket 05-TI-116 now have permanent certification to provide those services in accordance with this chapter. Any reseller that had interim certification because of a fitness question still has interim certification, but is obliged to comply with this chapter. Except for fitness limitations, all existing alternative telecommunications utility (ATU) reseller certificates are deemed modified to make the resale operations of such resellers uniformly subject to this chapter, except where the certificate contains unique terms and conditions on account of the ATU reseller's affiliation with a telecommunications utility. This provision does not make permanent those interim terms and conditions imposed on a certificate on account of a reseller's affiliation with a telecommunications utility. Those interim terms and conditions are subject to further investigation in docket 05-TI-138 or any related dockets dealing with affiliate relationships.
Under this paragraph, radio common carriers authorized to engage in resale must comply with this recreated ch. PSC 168. Competitive local exchange carriers authorized to engage in resale comply with this chapter to the extent provided by their certificates and any commission order specifying differing obligations respecting resale in local exchange markets, as provided in docket 05-TI-138.
