N.Y. Public Service Law § 92-g: De-tariffing of non-basic retail services

§ 92-g. De-tariffing of non-basic retail services. 1. Notwithstanding

any other provision of this chapter, or any regulation or order issued

by the commission pursuant to this chapter, and excluding "regulated

basic services" as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision two of

section ninety-two of this article on and after the effective date of

this section, a telephone corporation furnishing any services that would

otherwise be subject to the rate schedule requirements in section

ninety-two of this article may post on its website the rates, terms and

conditions of any retail service it offers, renders or furnishes within

the state. Section ninety-two of this article shall not apply to any

service so posted, and such telephone corporation shall not be required

to file with the commission or obtain approval of any tariff or schedule

for such service. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect

the authority of the commission under section ninety-seven of this

article.

2. Any tariff or schedule for retail services filed by a telephone

corporation prior to the effective date of this section may be withdrawn

at any time after such date upon thirty days notice to the commission,

but shall remain in effect until such withdrawal.

3. Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of the

commission over switched access or wholesale services.

4. A telephone corporation shall annually file a copy of the customer

service guide or other listing of terms and conditions with the

commission. A telephone corporation shall provide a copy of such

customer service guide or other listing of terms and conditions to any

requesting person. The commission may order additional requirements as

they see fit for the customer service guide. The term "customer service

guide" and "other listing of terms and conditions" when used in this

section shall include but not be limited to a list of non-basic services

with a description and rate of sale of such services by a telephone

corporation.

5. At least thirty days prior to an increase in rate for a non-basic

service, a telephone corporation shall notify any affected person that

such person may opt out of such non-basic service at any time within the

thirty days prior to the increase becoming effective.
