The provisions of Sections 4 through 9 of this Chapter that allow a competitive telecommunications carrier to abandon service and to have its authority to provide service terminated effective upon notice to the Commission and without Commission approval constitute an exemption from the approval requirement of 35-A M.R.S.A. §1104. The Commission finds that this exemption is in the public interest and will not have a negative effect on competitive markets for telephone service. The Commission adopts this exemption pursuant to the provisions or 35-A M.R.S.A. §1105.
