§ 56.212. SUBSEQUENT RELATED PETITIONS. (a) If the
commission approves a petition requesting service, residents of
permanent residential premises or owners of permanent residential
or business premises in reasonable proximity to the premises that
were the subject of an approved petition who did not sign the prior
petition requesting service are not entitled to receive service
under this subchapter until the fifth anniversary of the date the
prior petition was filed unless the residents or owners file a new
petition under this subchapter and agree to pay aid to construction
charges on the same terms as applicable to the prior petitioners.
(b) The designated provider shall receive reimbursement for
the original cost of deployment and actual recurring costs of
providing service to those additional residents in the same manner
as the provider received reimbursement of those costs in relation
to the prior petitioners. The provider may not receive
reimbursement for the original cost of deployment under a
subsequent petition if the provider previously received complete
reimbursement for those costs from the state universal service
fund. If the state universal service fund has completely
reimbursed the original cost of deployment as provided by this
subchapter, each subsequent petitioner must pay into the state
universal service fund an amount equal to the aid to construction
charge paid by each prior petitioner.
