NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

The commission may require any telecommunications corporation to interconnect its essential facilities with another telecommunications corporation that provides public telecommunications services in the name, adjacent, or overlapping services territory. These statues (Sections 54-8B-2, 54-8B-2.2, and 54-4-12) require a commission rule for interconnection and that the commission set rules governing interconnection standards between companies.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been submitted in the five-year period.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
