N.D. Cent. Code § 49-21-06
There is a rebuttable presumption that prices for essential telecommunications services in effect on July 1, 1989, are fair and reasonable. Any person may complain to the commission, or the commission on its own motion may complain and begin investigation, of the reasonableness, fairness, or adequacy of any price for any essential or nonessential service. Any notice and hearing by the commission will be provided in accordance with chapter 28-32 and the commission can only set aside, after notice and hearing, any price for a service it investigates pursuant to this section which it determines to be unreasonable, unfair, or inadequate. This section must be construed to authorize the commission to set aside any unreasonable, unfair, or inadequate price set by a telecommunications company for the connection between facilities of two or more telecommunications companies and for the transfer of telecommunications, provided this section may not be construed to set aside any price set by contract between telecommunications companies and in effect on July 1, 1989, upon complaint by one of the parties to the contract that the price is unreasonably high.
