Section 6-80-136 - Standard list of waivers
(a) Unless ordered otherwise by the commission, the following regulatory requirements of chapter 269, HRS, for the provision of intrastate telecommunications services by telecommunications carriers other than the incumbent carrier are waived:
(1) Requirement that a separate, formal application for certification be filed with the commission for each new telecommunications service the telecommunications carrier proposes to offer, as mandated by § 269-7.5, HRS, and § 6-61-86. Instead, the carrier shall file a separate tariff for each proposed new service;
(2) Requirement that a telecommunications carrier maintain its financial records in conformance with the uniform system of accounts, as mandated by § 269-8.5, HRS. Instead, the carrier may maintain its financial records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
(3) Requirement that all records and books pertaining to the telecommunications carrier's intrastate operations be located in the State, as mandated by § 269-8.2, HRS. Instead, the carrier shall promptly provide copies of its out-of-state records and books to the commission upon the commission's request; and
(4) Requirement subjecting telecommunications carriers to rate of return regulation and to public and contested case hearings on proposed rate increases, as mandated by § 269-16, HRS, and §§ 6-61-86 to 6-61-88; except that waiver of this requirement does not apply to basic service in high cost areas provided by carriers receiving State or federal universal service fund subsidy or to noncompetitive services.
(b) In addition to subsection (a), fully competitive services shall be exempt from the thirty day tariff filing requirement.
