NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION
ORDER GRANTING CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY
BY THE COMMISSION:
NOTICE 	is 	hereby 	given by 	the 	Florida 	Public 	Service Commission 	that 	the 	action
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.).
Georgia Network 	Operations Company LLC (GNOC) 	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 GNOC has 	sufficient technical, 	financial,
and 	managerial 	capability 	to 	provide 	such 	service. 	Accordingly, we 	hereby 	grant 	to GNOC
Certificate of Authority No. 9011, which 	shall authorize GNOC 	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 GNOC 	for payment by January
30th. 	Neither 	the 	cancellation of 	its 	certificate nor 	the 	failure 	to receive a RAF Return 	notice
shall relieve GNOC from 	its obligation to pay 	its RAF.
