Loop resistance and transmission tests shall be made on local circuits when transmission is found to be poor in an attempt to locate the source of trouble.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 25 SDR 89, effective December 27, 1998.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-77">49-31-77</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-85">49-31-85.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-3">49-31-3</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-77">49-31-77</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=49-31-85">49-31-85.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
