Final
(23) 32744 (B) - In re: Regulation of Transportation Network Companies. Rule TNC-3 dictates the process for TNC permit applications and renewals. After several permit renewal cycles, Commission Staff has recognized that the current rule may lead to timing issues during the permit renewal process and may not allow sufficient time for Staff review. Staff proposes amending Rule TNC-3(6) to extend the permit validity period from 12 months to 14 months. Rule TNC-3 also describes a process for revocation of a TNC permit for failure to timely renew the permit. This revocation process is unnecessary because a TNC permit becomes invalid if not renewed before the expiration of the permit. Therefore, Staff proposes removing the unnecessary language regarding revocation from Rule TNC-3(8).
