Current through Vol. 42, No. 7, December 16, 2024

Section 165:55-5-1 - Tariffs and/or Terms of Service required

(a) Except as provided in this Subchapter, a TSP or IXC shall charge for the provisioning of regulated telecommunications services to its end-users only the rates and charges contained in its tariffs on file with and approved by the Commission or Terms of Service. No deviation from a tariff or Terms of Service shall be permitted, except as permitted by OAC 165:55-5-10 or unless otherwise authorized by the Commission. The provisions of each TSP's or IXC's filed tariff and/or Terms of Service are binding upon the TSP, IXC and the end-user as to the rates and charges for service and the terms and conditions of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing and OAC 165:55-3-3, neither a TSP nor an IXC shall be required to file a written tariff with the Commission for any service except payphone access services, E911/911 access services, or switched access services.

(b) A TSP or an IXC which has a written tariff on file with the Commission may withdraw the tariff, except for payphone access services, E911/911 services, or switched access services if the TSP or IXC:

(1) provides written notice to the PUD Director and the Attorney General, that it is withdrawing the tariff,

(2) posts the Terms of Service online, and

(3) provides the Commission with the web page information where the language is posted.

(c) The Commission maintains the same authority to review the Terms of Service of a TSP or IXC as permitted by OAC 165:55-5-10.

(d) All tariff revisions, excluding tariff revisions relating to payphone access services, E911/911 access services, or switched access services, shall become effective on the day following the day the tariff revision is submitted to the Commission. Revisions to the Terms of Service on a TSP's or IXC's website will become effective on the day following the day the revision is posted on the website, or as otherwise indicated on the website. Notice of any revision to the Terms of Service shall be submitted to the Commission on or before the day of posting, and shall include the direct website link showing the revision.

(e) A data-only provider, with a CCN granted exclusively for the purpose of seeking reimbursement from the OUSF under 17 O.S. § 139.109.1(B)(4), shall maintain an informational tariff with current terms, conditions and rates applicable to the Special Universal Services it provides. Any modifications to the data-only provider's terms, conditions or rates, shall be submitted to the PUD Director prior to the effective date of such modifications.
