Public Service Commission
(CR 95-62)
Ch. PSC 168 - Certification and regulation of telecommunications resellers and providers of alternative operator services.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
These rules may have an incidental effect on small telecommunications utilities, which are small businesses under s. 196.216, Stats,. for the purposes of s. 227.114, Stats. A small number of ATU resellers may also qualify as small businesses. The commission has considered the methods in s. 227.114 (2), Stats., and, specifically, the comments of the Telecommunications Resellers Association (TRA) and Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association (WSTA) for reducing the impact of the rules on resellers and small telecommunications utilities. The commission finds that any less stringent rules would be contrary to the statutory objectives which are the basis for the rules. For resellers specifically, the commission has removed automatic termination of certification for failure to file a Notice of Intent to Renew. The rules adopt a process that seeks compliance with a minimum of cost and procedural steps. The Commission is unable to honor a request of the WSTA for a level playing field that includes telecommunications carriers. By reason of s. 196.499, Stats., such carrier are not subject to most of the provisions of ch. 196, Stats., that the STA would have the Commission use to regulate carrier reselling.
