A person, or the commission on its own motion, may apply to have an emerging competitive service of a telecommunications company classified as a fully competitive service or a noncompetitive service classified as an emerging competitive service or a fully competitive service. The application shall be filed with the commission and served on any other person designated by the commission. The application shall be in a form prescribed by the commission. The commission, in determining how a telecommunications service is to be classified, shall consider:</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000001"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">(1)    The number and size of alternative providers of the service and the affiliation to other providers;</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000001"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">(2)    The extent to which services are available from alternative providers in the relevant market;</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000001"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">(3)    The ability of alternative providers to make functionally equivalent or substitute services readily available at competitive rates, terms, and conditions of service;</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000001"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">(4)    The market share, the ability of the market to hold prices close to cost, and other economic measures of market power; and</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000001"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">(5)    The impact on universal service.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal-000002"><span class="s2070412DefaultParagraphFont">The commission shall approve or deny any such application within ninety days after the filing of the application. However, the commission may, by order, defer the period within which it must act for one additional period of ninety days, upon a finding that the proceeding cannot be completed within ninety days and that the additional time period is necessary for the commission to adequately and completely fulfill its duty under this title. If the commission has not acted on any such application within the appropriate time period permitted, the application shall be deemed granted.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070412000003"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070412Normal"><span class="s2070412SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070412SCL-000004"> SL 1988, ch 375, § 9; SL 1992, ch 328, § 5.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 49 - PUBLIC UTILITIES AND CARRIERS</title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap; } p.s2070413Normal { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2070413SENU { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413CL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413CL-000000 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2070413Normal-000001 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.50in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2070413DefaultParagraphFont { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413DefaultParagraphFont-000002 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413000003 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413SCL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070413SCL-000004 { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style></head><body><div><p dir="ltr" class="s2070413Normal"><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-31-3.3"><span class="s2070413SENU">49-31-3.3</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413SENU">. </span><span class="s2070413CL">Investigation of telecommunications services--Ninety</span><span class="s2070413CL-000000">-</span><span class="s2070413CL">day period--Reclassification--Burden of proof--Reclassification after 90 days.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070413Normal-000001"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">The commission may, within ninety days after July 1, 1988, conclude an investigation into any or all of the telecommunications services listed in §§ </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-31-1.1"><span class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">49-31-1.1</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">, </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-31-1.2"><span class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">49-31-1.2</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">, and </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-31-1.3"><span class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">49-31-1.3</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont"> to determine if any service is properly classified pursuant to the standards found in subdivisions </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-31-3.2"><span class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">49-31-3.2</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070413DefaultParagraphFont">(1) to (5), inclusive.

population, the environmental quality, the location and growth of industry, and the use of the natural resources of the state. The Legislature also finds that by assuming permit authority, that the state must also ensure that these facilities are constructed in an orderly and timely manner so that the energy requirements of the people of the state are fulfilled. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the location, construction, and operation of facilities will produce minimal adverse effects on the environment and upon the citizens of this state by providing that a facility may not be constructed or operated in this state without first obtaining a permit from the commission.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="sc19ca935395b42c4b706a413c0962049Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="sc19ca935395b42c4b706a413c0962049000000"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="sc19ca935395b42c4b706a413c0962049NoIndent"><span xml:space="preserve" class="sc19ca935395b42c4b706a413c0962049DefaultParagraphFont-000001">Source: </span><span class="sc19ca935395b42c4b706a413c0962049SCL">SL 1977, ch 390, § 2;
