InTelecom Decision 2021-199, the Commission directed next-generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) network providers, by 1 March 2022, to (i) establish their NG9-1-1 networks; (ii) complete all NG9-1-1 production onboarding activities; and (iii) be ready to provide NG9-1-1 Voice, wherever public safety answering points have been established in a particular region. In that decision, the Commission also directed all NG9-1-1 network providers to file proposed wholesale and retail NG9-1-1 tariffs no later than 1 November 2021.
The Commission received tariff applications from small incumbent local exchange carriers (SILECs) that are members of the Independent Telecommunications Providers Association (ITPA), between 28 October and 5 November 2021, to introduce the NG9-1-1 service. In these tariff applications, the ITPA-member SILECs filed NG9-1-1 rates for their respective operating territories.
In Telecom Order 2022-45, the Commission approved on an interim basis a rate for ITPA-member SILECs of $0.45 per network access subscriber per month for both wireline and wireless network access services.
Between 14 February and 28 February 2022, the Commission received tariff applications from the ITPA-member SILECs proposing amendments to their NG9-1-1 tariffs to correct certain errors and omissions in the terms and conditions for the service. The proposed amendments have no impact on the interim NG9-1-1 rates of these companies.
The interim approval of these applications complies with the 2006 and 2019 Policy Directions^{Footnote 1} by facilitating efficient tariff processes while enabling the Commission to consider, on the basis of a complete record, how its final decisions can promote competition, affordability, consumer interests, and innovation.
Revised tariff pages are to be issued within 10 calendar days of the date of this order. Revised tariff pages can be submitted to the Commission without a description page or a request for approval; a tariff application is not required.
