Industry Rule 5. Detariffed Service

The Commission may grant exceptions from the general requirement (see General Rule 8.2.1) that a Utility serve its California customers under its filed tariffs. Such exceptions, allowing the Utility to provide detariffed service, may be granted to a specific Utility or type of Utility, or for specific services offered by the Utility or type of Utility. Industry Rule 5.1 et seq., which will be updated as necessary, list the currently authorized exceptions and certain requirements.

A Market Trial or Technical Trial shall be submitted as an information-only filing (see Exhibit F), and shall follow guidelines set forth in Resolution T-14944 (June 17, 1992). Such an information-only filing will be treated as confidential pursuant to Resolution T-14944.

5.2 Commercial Mobile Radio Service Provider

A commercial mobile radio service provider cannot file tariffs with the Commission but shall make available to the public schedules showing its rates, charges, terms, and conditions of service.

5.3 Interexchange Carriers

A currently certificated interexchange carrier that is unaffiliated with a GRC-LEC or NRF-LEC may submit an advice letter requesting Commission approval to detariff in whole or part. A currently certificated interexchange carrier that is affiliated with a GRC-LEC or NRF-LEC must file an application to request detariffing approval.

In all instances, an interexchange carrier that is detariffed in whole or part, regardless of whether it is detariffed at or after certification, shall make available to the public schedules showing its rates, charges, terms, and conditions for detariffed service.
