(1) ARM 38.5.2730 through

38.5.2750 apply to applications by carriers, as defined in ARM

38.5.3302(3) ,for the approval of a new detariffed telecommunications service introduced pursuant to � 69-3-810, MCA. As alternatives to the procedures in ARM 38.5.2730 through 38.5.2750, carriers may elect to request that a new telecommunications service be detariffed pursuant to:

(a) the commission's detariffing rules, ARM 38.5.2711 through 38.5.2712, and � 69-3-807(2) and (3) , MCA, or

(b) the standards set forth in � 69-3-807(4) , MCA. Nothing in ARM 38.5.2730 through 38.5.2750 precludes a carrier from otherwise introducing a new telecommunications service on a tariffed basis, pursuant to an application filed and approved by the commission. The provisions of ARM 38.5.2730 through 38.5.2750 are not applicable to new services offered on a tariffed basis.
