Current through July 10, 2024
When a petition is filed with the Authority under Section

					 the telephone company serving the exchange shall be notified and thereafter the
					 telephone company shall conduct a study to detemine the effect, if any, of the

					 overall effect on its revenue requirements and shall state separately the
					 amount of annual toll revenues that would be lost by conversion to ELC,
					 together with a complete cost study showing itemized capital costs and
					 recurring costs. The telephone company shall determine the current average
					 number of toll messages per month per subscriber between the exchanges

Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 16 - Public Service Companies › 1 - Rules Of Practice › Article 4 - MISCELLANEOUS PROCEEDINGS › Part 6 - Extended Local Calling Telephone Service › Section 16-1-122 - Contiguous exchange extended local calling

Current through July 10, 2024
The Authority shall hold a hearing on all petitions for the

				  satisfies the criteria set forth in Section
				  16-1-120;
(2) That the toll messages on the route
				  requested average greater than or equal to four (4) calls per customer per
				  month from the petitioning exchange over a six month period;
(3) That a previous petition has not been
				  rejected nor a subscriber vote conducted in the 18-month period prior to the
				  petition.
Provided, however, that if a petition for a contiguous
					 route encompasses two or more exchanges serving the same regional school
					 district and said petition is sponsored by the superintendent for that district
					 or the chief administrative officer for any town served by said district, or
					 encompasses two or more exchanges in a split town; or is from an exchange in
					 the lowest exchange classification; the requirement that the number of toll
					 calls per customer per month exceed any given level need not be
					 met.

					 classification; the requirement that the number of toll calls per customer per
					 month exceed any given level need not be met.

Current through July 10, 2024
In all cases where a petition for extended local calling
					 otherwise conforms to these rules and either exchange would be subject to
					 reclassification to a higher rate group for local service rates, subsequent to
					 a hearing the Authority shall direct the Company to conduct a survey of all
					 subscribers in any exchange subject to reclassification. The survey ballot and
					 accompanying letter explaining the reason for the survey shall be submitted by
					 the serving telephone company to the Authority and, unless otherwise directed
					 by the Authority within 10 days, the company shall deem them approved for
					 mailing. The vote of subscribers shall be taken during the next 60 days. Each
					 separately billed subscriber is entitled to only one vote. Responses to such a
					 vote shall be submitted to the telephone company no later than 30 days after
					 the expiration of the 60 day voting period for counting under the direction of
					 the Authority. The ballots for such votes shall clearly and plainly
					 state:
(1) The increase in local
				  service rates to which subscribers would be subject because of any rate group
				  reclassification, under the currently effective tariff.
(2) The telephone exchanges, towns and three
				  digit telephone number prefixes which would become accessible to the exchanges
				  if extended local calling were approved.
Extended local calling shall be approved and ordered if
					 after a hearing the Authority finds that more than 50 percent of the responding
					 subscribers in each exchange required to be surveyed vote in favor of the
					 additional extended local calling route and at least 50 percent of all
					 subscribers in each exchange required to be surveyed respond to the survey;
					 provided only validly completed and signed ballots shall be used in computing
					 the required percentages.
The ballots for the subscriber votes shall state separately
					 for each exchange required to be surveyed the amount of local service rate
					 increases due to reclassification under currently effective tariffs. In no
					 event shall the percentage of responses or affirmative votes be aggregated or
					 averaged over the exchanges involved, but the results shall be separately
					 compiled for each exchange.

Current through July 10, 2024
A new extended local calling route which otherwise meets
					 the conditions set forth in these rules may be delayed in implementation by the
					 Authority beyond the normal implementation interval, if it finds that the
					 construction necessary to provide the route would conflict with a plan or
					 program of modernization of telephone service equipment, either in progress or
					 planned by the telephone company or companies that serve the exchanges
					 involved. Such a conflict in a plan or program of modernization may be deemed
					 to exist if a type or types of modification to equipment, required to provide
					 extended local calling, would produce a payback rate, computed using standard
					 financial accounting techniques, of less than or equal to 10 percent. The
					 computation of the payback rate shall be limited to the term of the period
					 before which equipment is to be replaced or modernized and to the estimated
					 cost of the capital investment necessary to provide extended local calling
					 service.

Current through July 10, 2024
All existing one-way extended local calling routes shall be
					 converted to two-way local calling in coordination with the planned conversion
					 to ESS facilities. The subscribers affected by the conversion of existing
					 one-way ELC routes shall pay only the expense associated with reclassification
					 to a higher rate group, if any. Where reclassification of an exchange from
					 Class I to Class III occurs as a result of conversion of one-way toll route(s)
					 to two-way local calling, the increase to Class II rates will be effected upon
					 completion of said conversion and the increase in rates to Class III will be
					 effected two years after completion of said conversion.
