Illinois Statutes Chapter 220. Utilities § 5/13-402. Waiver or modification of rules

§ 13-402. The Commission is authorized, in connection with the issuance or modification of a Certificate of Interexchange Service Authority or the modification of a certificate of public convenience and necessity for interexchange telecommunications service, to waive or modify the application of its rules, general orders, procedures or notice requirements when such action will reduce the economic burdens of regulation and such waiver or modification is not inconsistent with the law or the purposes and policies of this Article.

Any such waiver or modification granted to any interexchange telecommunications carrier which has, or any group of such carriers any one of which has annual revenues exceeding $10,000,000 shall be automatically applied fully and equally to all such carriers with annual revenues exceeding $10,000,000 unless the Commission specifically finds, after notice to all such carriers and a hearing, that restricting the application of such waiver or modification to only one such carrier or some group of such carriers is consistent with and would promote the purposes and policies of this Article and the protection of telecommunications customers.
