Background
On August 23, 2013 Nevada’s Regulatory Operations Staff of the PUC reinforced their zero tolerance policy with the release of the “Order to Appear and Show Cause why
Several comments were filed in defense of the show cause petition. However, staff proceeded under the jurisdiction of NRC rules 703 and 704. As a result of the PUC’s zero tolerance policy, over 119 listed carriers were fined an estimated $125,000 for filing late or incomplete annual reports, annual assessment and revenue reports, TDD Reports, and CMRS Licensing Fees.
The Nevada TDD Surcharge Report is due June 30, 2014 and the Nevada Annual Revenue Assessment Report is due on July 1, 2014. Nevada's policy makes it extremely important that telecom companies comply with the PUC’s filing requirements in order to avoid burdensome fines ranging from $500 to $1,500 for noncompliance, or a revoked CPCN.
