7.2 Matters Appropriate to a Tier 2 Advice Letter
(Effective After Staff Approval)

By submitting an advice letter in Tier 2, a Utility represents that the advice letter is properly filed in Tier 2, and that the Utility has complied with the applicable customer notice requirements, as set forth in Industry Rules 3 to 3.3 and as referenced in this Industry Rule 7.2. Pursuant to General Rule 4.2, the Utility must document its compliance with applicable customer notice requirements; if an advice letter accepted for filing is found not to have been noticed in compliance with these requirements, Staff will reject the advice letter without prejudice. If a Tier 2 advice letter has not been suspended by staff by the end of the initial 30-day review period, the Tier 2 advice letter is deemed approved. The following matters must be filed under Tier 2:

(1) A New Service of a GRC-LEC. (See Industry Rule 8.3.)

(2) A contract for a tariffed service by a GRC-LEC. (See Industry Rules 8.2.3, 8.2.4.)

(3) Detariffing by an URF Carrier. (See Industry Rules 5, 5.1.)

(4) A request to Transfer by a carrier other than a GRC-LEC or an URF Carrier that is an incumbent local exchange carrier. (See Industry Rule 8.6.2.)

(5) An advice letter otherwise appropriate to Tier 1 but for which the Utility submitting the advice letter requests review and disposition under Tier 2.
