Our company is no longer doing business in New York State, what do we do?
If your company no longer provides regulated telephone services, has no customers, and would like to surrender its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) and relinquish authority to provide telecommunications services in New York State, the company should email a cover letter to the Secretary to the Commission at secretary@dps.ny.gov, stating the same and requesting to relinquish all rights associated therewith. The cover letter should be accompanied by a tariff Cancellation Supplement for each tariff in effect, canceling them in their entirety.
If the effective tariffs are filed in electronic format, the tariff Cancellation Supplement(s) should be filed in the Electronic Tariff System (ETS).
If the effective tariffs are filed in paper format, the cover letter and tariff Cancellation Supplement(s) should be emailed to the Secretary.
If the company does not know in which format its tariffs are filed, or for any general questions about surrendering a CPCN and relinquishing authority to provide telecommunications service, please contact Timothy Kitchner at 518-473-5245 or at timothy.kitchner@dps.ny.gov.
