discussed herein is preliminary in nature and will become final unless a person whose interests
are substantially affected files a petition for a formal proceeding, pursuant to Rule 25-22.029,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
Prime Fiber, LLC (Prime or Company) applied for a Certificate of Authority to provide
telecommunications service, pursuant to Section 364.335, Florida Statutes (F.S.). Upon review of
the application, it appears that Prime has sufficient technical, financial , and managerial capability
to provide such service. Accordingly, we hereby grant to Prime Certificate of Authority No.
8997, which shall authorize Prime to provide telecommunications service throughout the State of
Florida.
Telecommunications 	service 	providers 	are 	required 	to 	comply 	with 	all 	applicable
provisions of Chapter 364, F.S., and Chapter 25-4, F.A.C.
In addition, under Section 364.336, F.S., certificate holders must pay a minimum annual
Regulatory Assessment Fee (RAF) if the certificate was active during any portion of the calendar
year. A RAF Return notice will be mailed each December to Prime for payment by January 30th.
Neither the cancellation of its certificate nor the failure to receive a RAF Return notice shall
relieve Prime from its obligation to pay its RAF.
