SUMMARY: Rules 25-24.455, 25-24.465, 25-24.470, 25-24.474, 25-24.475, 25-24.480, 25-24.485, and 25-24.490 pertain to interexchange telecommunications services; Rules 25-24.516, 25-24.575, and 25-24.580 pertain to pay telephone and shared tenant services; Rules 25-24.600, 25-24.610, 25-24.620, 25-24.630, 25-24.640 pertain to operator services and call aggregator services; Rules 25-24.721, 25-24.740, 25-24.747, 25-24.830, and 25-24.840 pertain to alternative access vendors and competitive local exchange services; and Rules 25-24.900, 25-24.905, 25-24.910, 25-24.915, 25-24.920, 25-24.925, and 25-24.935, F.A.C., pertain to prepaid calling services. Chapter No. 2011-36, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 2011, amended the Commission’s authority over telecommunications companies. These rules are being repealed because there is no longer statutory authority to implement the rules.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: Based on information on the benefits of competition and the reduction of regulation on the telecommunications industry, the rule repeals will not have an adverse impact on small business, will not likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after implementation of the repeal of the rules, and will not require legislative ratification pursuant to Section 120.541(3), F.S. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
