If an acquiring carrier does not have authority to provide service to a group of customers the carrier proposes to acquire, the Administrative Director shall docket any application or request to obtain that authority as a separate proceeding.B.Required information. All notices or applications required by this Chapter shall state the name (and former names and assumed trade names, if any) of the competitive telecommunications carrier that is abandoning or discontinuing service, the name (and former names and assumed trade names, if any) of any acquiring carrier, the nature of the authority that each carrier obtained from the Commission (local or interexchange) and the docket number(s) of the order(s) for each grant of authority.C.Accompanying Filings. With all notices or applications required by this Chapter, a competitive telecommunications carrier proposing to abandon service shall file copies of any notices to its customers that are required by this Chapter or by 47 C.F.R. §1120(e)(3) and any proposed changes to its rate schedules that are required by this Chapter. If the competitive telecommunications carrier does not file either of these items, the Administrative Director shall notify the carrier of the requirement and the carrier shall provide the Commission with copies of the missing materials within 14 days.D.Additional Information. If necessary, the Administrative Director may request additional information from the competitive telecommunications carrier. The Administrative Director may make such inquiry to determine whether the carrier is proposing to abandon service, whether the carrier has any customers in Maine, whether the carrier previously had customers and how those customers were terminated, whether notice to customers has been provided or will be required, which category of abandonment applies as defined in Sections 4 through 9 below, or any other matter the Administrative Director finds is necessary.65- 407 C.M.R. ch. 293, § 3
