R907-65-11. Compensation Prior to Construction of Telecommunications Facilities

(1) The department may charge compensation for the period of time between execution of the agreement and completion of construction at rates which are discounted from the full annual compensation rates determined under R907-65-8, R907-65-9 and R907-65-10 including no compensation prior to commencement of construction. The department also may agree to the phasing of projects into clearly identified phases, with the compensation schedule structured based on the construction commencement and/or completion dates for each phase.

(2) If the department elects to discount compensation rates, it shall do so in a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory manner for all similarly situated telecommunication facility providers.
