Rule 199-22.8 - Registration of telecommunications service providers

Each telecommunications service provider required to register with the commission pursuant to Iowa Code section 476.95A shall register with the commission annually thereafter. Registration shall be completed electronically as provided by the commission. If a telecommunications service provider is not required to register, the telecommunications service provider shall file an annual report in compliance with 199-Chapter 23.

(1) The commission shall issue an acknowledgment of registration within five business days of receipt of a provider's completed application for registration. Such acknowledgment shall authorize the applicant to obtain telephone numbers, interconnect with other telecommunications service providers, cross railroad rights-of-way pursuant to Iowa Code section 476.27, and provide telecommunications services within the state.

(2) Registration may be transferred to another telecommunications service provider by filing a new or updated registration form. The commission shall serve an acknowledgment of the new registration within five business days of receipt.

(3) Registration is required even though a telecommunications service provider has a certificate of public convenience and necessity issued prior to July 1, 2018, and the provider retains the rights conferred by that certificate.

(4) Telecommunications service providers that have not previously provided telecommunications service in Iowa shall register with the commission prior to providing telecommunications service in Iowa.

(5) Telecommunications service providers shall include with the registration a list of the exchanges where the telecommunications service provider offers telecommunications service, if applicable. A telecommunications service provider shall file an amended registration prior to expanding service to an exchange not listed on the registration or when exiting an exchange listed on the registration.

(6) Updated registrations are required when the contact information on the registration changes.
