N.M. Code R. § 17.11.15.21 – Transition from Old Rule to This Rule

A. Registration: Payphone providers currently registered under the Commission's COCOTs regulation pursuant to Docket No. 1084 (SCC Rule No. 85-8, In the Matter of Adoption of Rules and Regulations for the Placement and Operation of Customer Owned Coin Operated Telephones) shall continue to be authorized as payphone providers. The Commission shall notify currently registered payphone providers on a staggered basis as to the form and manner of filing reregistration forms and equipment reports to bring them into compliance with the requirements of this rule.
B. Equipment: Payphone providers may petition the Commission for permission to continue using existing equipment that does not meet the requirements of this rule. If the Commission finds, after notice and a public hearing, that the petitioner has shown that there is good cause to grant such permission, that it is in the public interest to do so, and that it will not violate FCC requirements, the Commission may approve the petition.
