About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the telecom bond actually covers

Louisiana regulates competition in the local telephone market through the Public Service Commission, under the local-competition regulations adopted in General Order R-31839 (March 11, 2014). Certification as a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) or reseller comes with conditions, and one of them can be a financial security.

The security requirement is most explicit for resellers of prepaid basic local service: a certificated carrier reselling prepaid service must furnish a performance bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or other approved security sufficient to cover customer prepayments and deposits it collects. The bond is a continuing obligation that automatically renews.

Because the LPSC sizes the security to your service and customer exposure, there is no single statutory dollar figure — you post the amount the Commission directs. The security cannot be cancelled without at least 60 days' written advance notice to the Commission. We issue whatever amount applies at a flat 3% with no credit check.

LPSC General Order R-31839 (Mar. 11, 2014)The Louisiana Public Service Commission's Regulations for Competition in the Local Telecommunications Market (General Order R-31839, March 11, 2014) condition local-competition certificates and, for resellers of prepaid basic local service, require a performance bond or other approved security sufficient to cover customer prepayments and deposits — a continuing, auto-renewing obligation not terminable without 60 days' notice to the Commission. Confirm the exact amount on your LPSC order.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Louisiana CLEC bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Public Service Commission — for prepaid-service resellers it is sized to the customer prepayments and deposits you collect. Enter the figure on your LPSC order and the quote updates.
Does every CLEC have to post a bond? +
Not necessarily. The security requirement is most explicit for resellers of prepaid basic local service. Whether the LPSC requires a bond — and in what amount — depends on your certificate and service. Check your Commission order, and send it to us if you're unsure.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the telecom bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Can the bond be cancelled? +
The LPSC rules require the security to be continuing and auto-renewing, and it cannot be terminated without at least 60 days' written advance notice to the Commission. We track the renewal so the security stays continuous.
Where do I file it? +
With the Louisiana Public Service Commission, to satisfy the security condition in your certificate. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
