Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-1-59A - Exception
The following requirements shall apply to all tariff filings by telephone companies which do not alter existing rates or charges.
(a)
Components
Required. All tariff filings by telephone companies which do not alter
existing rates or charges shall include the following components, where
applicable, in place of the components described in Sections
16-1-54 and
16-1-55,
in addition to the requirements of Part I of this article.
(1) Supporting Data. Each tariff filing must
be submitted to the Authority together with sworn testimony on matters of
public benefit from the proposed service and cost justification for the
proposed rate. The Authority may require such additional data as it deems
necessary.
(2) Effective Date. Each
tariff filing which does not alter existing rates or charges shall include an
effective date which shall be no earlier than thirty (30) days after the filing
date. Each such tariff filing may be placed into effect by the Company on the
proposed effective date subject to the requirements of suspension and hearing
under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section and shall be deemed approved by
the Authority sixty (60) days thereafter if no action to the contrary is taken
by the Authority.
(b)
Notice. The Authority, by publication and by written notice to
those who so request in writing, shall state the name of the Telephone Company,
the proposed effective date of the new tariff, shall identify the subject
matter of the new tariff, and shall state that the tariff and its supporting
testimony and cost study are on file at the office of the Authority for
examination by interested parties.
(c)
Hearing. The Authority may
on its own motion, or may upon receipt of a written petition in accordance with
Article 3, Part I, order a public hearing on the proposed tariff. Upon
suspension of said proposed tariff, a public hearing shall be held no later
than thirty (30) days after the proposed effective date and the Authority shall
issue its finding and order no later than thirty (30) days after such
hearing.
(d)
Suspension or
effectiveness of tariff. If the proposed tariff becomes effective on its
proposed effective date in accordance with subsection (a) (2) of this section
it shall be subject to appropriate accounting orders to provide for possible
refunds, with interest, should the rate ultimately be found unreasonable. Where
a petitioner has satisfactorily demonstrated irreparable harm to his business
or property should the tariff become effective, or where the Authority has
determined unsatisfactory public benefit or the unreasonableness of the
proposed rate, the Authority shall suspend the effective date and schedule a
hearing in accordance with subsection (c) of this section.
