OAR 860-034-0620. Filing Deadlines for a Request for an Exception by a Small Telecommunications Utility or Type 2 Cooperatives

(1) A small telecommunications utility or Type 2 cooperative requesting an exception from the depreciation guidelines for one or more calendar years shall file a request for an exception on or before June 1 of the year preceding the first calendar year for which it seeks an exception. (2) A small telecommunications utility or Type 2 cooperative may file a request for an exception after June 1 only if the Commission grants a motion to file out of time. The Commission may grant such a motion if the small telecommunications utility or Type 2 cooperative shows good cause for its failure to file timely and if the Commission concludes it has sufficient time to rule on the request on or before December 31 of the year preceding the first calendar year for which the small telecommunications utility or Type 2 cooperative seeks an exception. (3) If the Commission grants a motion to file out of time, the time line set forth in OARs 860-034-0640 through 860-034-0660 shall begin on the date of the order granting the motion.
