				for service from the Rotation Log. The Commissioner's designee shall notify
				each wrecker service of the geographical area of rotation to which it is
				assigned.
(2) The Commissioner's
				designee will establish each geographical area of rotation based upon a
				reasonable radius from the primary storage facility of each wrecker service

				determined by the Commissioner's designee based upon:
(A) The estimated time it will take the
				wrecker service to respond to calls for service,
(B) The number of wrecker services available
				on the Rotation Log,
(C) Conformity
				with 47 O.S. § 72-955(C),

				within the Troop District as deemed appropriate by the Commissioner's
				designee.
(3) The
				Commissioner's designee may overlap geographical areas of rotation whenever
				necessary to ensure adequate response to requests for wrecker
				services.
(4) The Commissioner's
				designee may modify geographical areas of rotation for the Troop District at
				any time and for just cause, but shall notify as soon as practicable each
				wrecker service affected of such modifications.
(5) The Commissioner's designee may extend
				any geographical area of rotation by a reasonable radius beyond the boundaries
				of the Troop District to include on the rotation log of the District a wrecker
				service:

				in proximity to the boundary of the District, and
(B) Upon receiving notification from the
				Department of the approval of the wrecker service for placement on the rotation
				log for the District of the Commander.

				the Troop Commander from using the services of any licensed wrecker service:

				of rotation, or
(B) Which has not
				been assigned to the Rotation Log of the Troop District.
