(A) In the event any permittee intends to discontinue use of any facilities within the rights-of-way, such permittee shall submit a notice to the Director describing the portion of the facilities to be discontinued and the date of discontinuance, which date shall not be less than 30 days from the date such notice is submitted to the Director. The permittee may not remove, destroy, or permanently disable any such facilities after such notice without the written approval of the Director. The permittee shall remove and secure such facilities as set forth in the notice unless directed by the Director to abandon such facilities in place.
(B) Upon such abandonment and acceptance by the municipality in writing, full title and ownership of such abandoned facilities shall pass to the municipality and the municipality shall have no obligation to pay compensation to the permittee. The permittee shall, however, continue to be responsible for all taxes on such facilities or other liabilities associated therewith, until the date the same is accepted by the municipality.
