Rule 751-13.2 - Other fees

The commission shall charge the following fees based on the ongoing operational costs of the network:

(1)Staff time devoted to a cable cut. An administrative fee shall be added to the cost of repair for a cable cut. The fee shall be charged to the person or entity who caused the cable cut. The fee shall be a minimum of $150. In the event commission staff members must devote more than ten hours to the cable cut repair, the actual hourly rate of a telecommunications technician shall be added to the cost of the cable cut for the total time all staff members are required to devote to the cable cut and repair.

(2)Informal resolution of cable cuts. Commission staff members are authorized to resolve cable cut repair costs informally including making adjustments to the administrative fees attributable to the cable cut and repair or the revenue lost from the cable cut. Any settlement of a disputed claim must be reduced to writing.

(3)Estimate for cable relocation cost. An administrative fee equaling the commission's cost to provide an estimate for a cable move for a property owner shall be charged to the property owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the commission has preexisting agreements in effect prior to December 1, 1996, that refer specifically to the cost of a cable relocation, those agreements will be honored. The commission and authorized users may enter into new agreements for construction and maintenance of the fiberoptic network.
