Public Interest
			 Payphone Service
To request that a public interest payphone be installed or
				operated in an exchange, an individual, municipality, governmental entity,
				nonprofit corporation or public service organization shall submit a written
				request to the Commission's General Staff identifying a specific public health,
				safety or welfare objective which will be served by installation or operation
				of a public interest payphone within the requested exchange. If the General
				Staff determines, after review and investigation of the written request, that
				the request is justified and should be granted, it shall notify the eligible
				telecommunications carrier serving the requested exchange of the pending
				request and its determination. Unless the eligible telecommunications carrier
				submits written notification to the General Staff challenging its determination
				of need within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the General Stars notice, the
				eligible telecommunications carrier must ensure that at least one public
				interest payphone, providing continuous twenty-four (24) hour service in a
				well-lighted area, is accessible to the public at all times in the exchange
				designated by the requesting party.
If the eligible telecommunications carrier submits a written
				notification challenging the General Staff's determination of need, the General
				Staff shall request that the Commission commence a proceeding naming the
				eligible telecommunications carrier to resolve whether a public health, safety
				or welfare objective would be served by installing or operating a public
				interest payphone within the requested exchange.
Under no circumstances shall an eligible telecommunications
				carrier be required to install or operate a public interest payphone in
				response to such a request if it can demonstrate that:
(1) Another telecommunications provider is
			 already providing a payphone within the exchange, or
(2) The installation and/or maintenance of a
			 public interest payphone within the requested exchange would be an undue/costly
			 burden on the eligible telecommunications carrier.

				negotiated written agreement regarding the rates, terms, and conditions upon
				which access for a Pole Attachment is provided. Voluntary negotiated agreements
				are preferred and encouraged by the Commission. Nothing in these rules should
				be interpreted to supersede or modify any rate, term, or condition of a
				voluntarily negotiated written agreement.
