Utah Admin. Code R907-64-4 - Access Policy
(1) The department
acknowledges that Federal and State Legislation, primarily the
Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Pub. L. No.
104-104 , 110 Stat. 70 (Feb. 8, 1996) and Utah Code
Section
54-8b-1,
encourage competition in the provision of telecommunication services, and the
development and deployment of advanced telecommunication technologies,
infrastructure, and networks. These legislative initiatives in turn have
increased demand for rights-of-way, including highway rights-of-way, for the
installation of telecommunication facilities necessary to support increased
competition and deployment of an advanced telecommunication
infrastructure.
(2) The department
also recognizes that longitudinal access and wireless access for
telecommunication facilities may be provided without compromising interstate
system integrity, safety, normal interstate system operation or maintenance
activities, while contributing to the deployment and efficient operation of
intelligent transportation systems.
(3) Therefore, effective on or after August
17, 1999, the department may allow longitudinal access and wireless access on
highways of the interstate system for placement, construction, installation,
maintenance, repair, use, operation, replacement and removal of
telecommunication facilities, as authorized by Section
72-7-108
and subject to compliance with this rule. This rule applies only to
longitudinal access and wireless access for telecommunication facilities on
rights-of-way within the interstate system and does not alter the existing
policy concerning other utilities on system rights-of-way, or for accommodating
utilities on other facilities under the jurisdiction of the
department .
