5.1 URF Carrier

Subject to Industry Rule 5, an URF Carrier may request to detariff in whole or in part. The URF Carrier seeking to detariff a service not excluded under Industry Rule 5 must submit a Tier 2 advice letter. The advice letter must identify the service that the URF Carrier proposes to detariff and must attest that the service is not one of the services excepted from detariffing under Industry Rule 5.

After the Commission has authorized an URF Carrier to detariff in whole or in part, the URF Carrier may make available to the public New Service offerings on a detariffed basis to the extent consistent with the Commission's authorization. If the URF Carrier seeks to make available to the public on a detariffed basis a New Service that does not fall into categories in which the URF Carrier has already detariffed existing services, the URF Carrier must file an advice letter under Tier 2 that introduces and describes the New Service and simultaneously seeks Detariffing for that New Service. The advice letter shall also attest that the New Service is not one of the services excepted from detariffing under Industry Rule 5. (See General Rules 6.1, 6.2; Industry Rule 2.)
