In the event licensee’s performance of any of the terms, conditions, obligations, or requirements of its license is prevented or impaired due to acts of God or civil emergencies, which are beyond licensee’s control and not reasonably foreseeable, such inability to perform shall be deemed excusable and no penalties or sanctions shall be imposed as a result thereof, provided the licensee has notified the Department in writing within 30 days of discovery of the occurrence of such an event. In the event licensee must suspend service as the result of such force majeure, licensee shall make every reasonable effort to effect repairs, and restore service to its subscribers as soon as possible thereafter. In the event licensee cannot restore service to its subscribers within 90 days following the occurrence of such an event, the Director may initiate proceedings under §§ 42.0523 or 42.0556 to modify or terminate licensee’s license.
