1. (a) A telecommunications carrier may register with the department by completing and filing Form TC-1 “Registration as a Telecommunications Carrier” dated 6/2024, available at the department website at https://www.energy.nh.gov/utilities-providers/information-telecommunications-providers in order to obtain evidence of its rights and obligations under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
2. (b) The department shall register a telecommunications carrier upon receipt of a form TC‑1 which the department determines is complete.

3. (c) A registered telecommunications carrier that ceases providing telecommunications services in New Hampshire shall notify the department in writing or by completing and filing the Form TC-2 “Withdrawal of Registration as a Telecommunications Carrier in New Hampshire” dated 6/2024, of such cessation by signing and certifying as follows:

   “I certify that the company on whose behalf this application is submitted seeks to have its registration as a provider of telecommunications services in New Hampshire withdrawn. I am aware that said company may offer telecommunications services in New Hampshire without any such registration, and that a lack of registration may result in some inconvenience in asserting rights available to telecommunications carriers. I make this certification subject to the penalty for making unsworn false statements under RSA 641:3.”

4. (d) If the department determines that a telecommunications carrier is no longer providing telecommunications service in New Hampshire, as a result of such notification or by other means, the department shall terminate the registration of the telecommunications carrier.
