(a) Any public service provider with facilities in the public right-of-way shall submit plans of record in accordance with the following requirements:
(1) On or before April 1, 2001, a public service provider shall submit to the director a schedule to provide complete plans of record that show all of its facilities existing in the public right-of-way as of the date the plans of record are submitted to the director in compliance with this section. The schedule must provide for all plans of record for existing facilities inside the central business district to be furnished to the director on or before March 1, 2002 and for all plans of record for existing facilities outside the central business district to be furnished to the director on or before March 1, 2003.
(2) On or before March 1 of each calendar year following the initial submittal of its plans of record, a public service provider shall provide to the director plans of record that show all installations of new facilities, and all changes, additions, abandonments, and relocations relating to existing facilities, completed in the previous calendar year, both inside and outside of the central business district.
(3) The plans of record must be provided in a format specified by the director and must contain such detail and accuracy as are required by the director. Plans of record must be submitted in computerized or digital format.
(b) If plans of record submitted under this section include information expressly designated by the public service provider as a trade secret or other confidential information protected from disclosure by state law, the director may not disclose that information to the public without the consent of the public service provider, unless otherwise compelled by an opinion of the attorney general pursuant to the Texas Open Records Act, as amended, or by a court having jurisdiction of the matter pursuant to applicable law. This subsection may not be construed to authorize a public service provider to designate all matters in its plans of record as confidential or as trade secrets. (Ord. Nos. 24495; 26263)
