A government entity that interrupts a communication service pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 11471 shall take all of the following steps:

If an application is filed more than six hours after commencement of an interruption of a communication service, the application shall include a declaration, made

Prepare a signed statement of intent to apply for a court order. The statement of intent shall clearly describe the extreme emergency situation and the specific communication service to be interrupted.

Provide conspicuous notice of the application for a court order on the government entity’s Internet Web site without delay, unless the circumstances that justify an interruption of a communication service without first obtaining a court order also justify not providing the notice.
