Doc. No. L-00940095F0002

   The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) at its September 30, 1999 public meeting delegated certain routine ministerial and nonpolicymaking public meeting agenda items to the Bureau of Fixed Utility Services for disposition. These matters include the following:

   1.  All tariff filings by incumbent local exchange carriers for noncompetitive services when the rates proposed are lower than the corresponding rates offered by competitive local exchange carriers in the same service territory as the incumbent local exchange carrier. Under the streamlined tariff filing requirements approved both as interim guidelines and proposed regulations at the September 30, 1999 public meeting, the notice and review period for the above tariff filings will be reduced from 60 to 10 days, but may be extended by the Commission upon notice for up to an additional 30 days.

   2.  All tariff filings by incumbent local exchange carriers and competitive local exchange carriers for noncompetitive services when the rates proposed are higher than the corresponding rates offered by the applicable competitive local exchange carriers and incumbent local exchange carriers in the same service territory. Under the streamlined tariff filing requirements approved both as interim guidelines and proposed regulations at the September 30, 1999 public meeting, the notice and review period for the above tariff filings will be reduced from 60 to 30 days, but may be extended by the Commission upon notice for up to an additional 30 days.

   These items will now be addressed by Secretarial Letter. These actions may be appealed to the Commission by filing a petition within 10 days after service of notice of the action, unless a different time period is specified. See 52 Pa. Code § 5.44.

   The contact persons for this matter are Carl S. Hisiro, Assistant Counsel, Law Bureau [phone] (legal), and Gary Wagner, Bureau of Fixed Utility Services, [phone] (technical).
