Published on: 4943525. The Commission proposes to repeal these rules because they are no longer necessary. Section 364.385(2), F.S., prohibits new Extended Area Service (EAS) proceedings for price-regulated local exchange companies (LECs). Repealing the EAS rules will align the F.A.C. with this statute and would have no effect on the ten LECs in Florida. Docket No. 070588-TP.
