Sec. 68.108  Incidence of harm.

    Should terminal equipment, inside wiring, plugs and jacks, or 
protective circuitry cause harm to the public switched telephone 
network, or should the provider of wireline telecommunications 
reasonably determine that such harm is imminent, the provider of 
wireline telecommunications shall, where practicable, notify the 
customer that temporary discontinuance of service may be required; 
however, wherever prior notice is not practicable, the provider of 
wireline telecommunications may temporarily discontinue service 
forthwith, if such action is reasonable under the circumstances. In case 
of such temporary discontinuance, the provider of wireline 
telecommunications shall:
    (a) Promptly notify the customer of such temporary discontinuance;
    (b) Afford the customer the opportunity to correct the situation 
which gave rise to the temporary discontinuance; and
    (c) Inform the customer of his right to bring a complaint to the 
Commission pursuant to the procedures set forth in subpart E of this 
part.
