Nevada Policy Regarding Late Report Filing - 2014 Update

In TMI’s 2013 Blog article“ Nevada Stacks the Odds Against Re gulatory Compliance” by Sharon Thomas dated 9/10/13, we provided the details of Nevada’s “zero tolerance” policy for telecom carriers and other regulated utilities who filed late or filed incomplete annual reports, annual assessments, TDD surcharges, and CMRS(wireless) licensing fees. To prepare for 2014 and keep carriers aware of Nevada’s continued zero tolerance policy, we thought an update would be in order.

Posted by Fran Martens

The California PUC released a draft report of the Performance Bond Workshop in the rulemaking to revise the certification/registration processes for telephone companies, including wireless carriers. The PUC’s Communications Division (CD) asked the parties to review the Workshop Report on Phase II of R.11-11-006 on the Performance Bond for Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity and Wireless Identification Registration Holders (Report) for its accuracy only and to submit comments by May 8, 2014. Comments on policy or legal issues are not requested at this time. The Report summarizes participants’ comments and discussions during the December 3, 2013, work session. It includes discussion on (A) Criteria for determining revisions to the existing Performance Bond Requirement (amount of the bond, terms and conditions of the bond, applicability), (B) Exemptions to the Performance Bond Requirement, and (C) Alternatives to a Performance Bond.
