Operator Services and Interexchange Telecommunication Services
Basis, Purpose, and Statutory Authority
The basis and purpose of these rules is to identify and describe operator services that are subject to Commission regulation; to distinguish operator services subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction from those not subject to the Commission's jurisdiction; to prescribe the regulatory treatment of jurisdictional services; and to identify alternative forms of regulatory treatment for such services and providers when appropriate.
The statutory authority for the promulgation of these rules is found at §§ 40-3-101; 40-15-112; 40-15-113; 40-15-201; 40-15-301(1) and (2)(g); 40-15-302(1)(a) and (5); and 40-2-108, C.R.S.
2170.	Interexchange Telecommunications Services.
(a)	InterLATA interexchange telecommunications services are not regulated by the Commission except as provided for in §§ 40-15-112 and 40-15-113 C.R.S.  Upon the effective date of this rule, all providers of such services shall file a notice of acknowledgement of the deregulation of such services with the Director of the Commission and within 10 days of filing the notice, shall file an Advice Letter and/or Transmittal Letter on not less than 14-days notice, to remove all rates, terms and conditions for interLATA toll services from their tariffs and/or price lists, if applicable, or identify interLATA toll offerings as deregulated by the Commission.
(b)	Pursuant to § 40-15-306, C.R.S., intraLATA interexchange telecommunications services are regulated by the Commission unless a provider of such services has filed an application for deregulation and that application has been approved by the Commission.  See rule 2210 of the Commission's rules regarding the deregulation of intraLATA interexchange telecommunications services.
