PROVIDE LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICE IN )
THE STATE OF IDAHO. ) ORDER NO. 28489
)
On November 1, 1999, Clearcore Communications, LLC submitted an Application
for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide basic local exchange service to
customers within the state of Idaho. In its Application, the Company specifically identified the
service territory of U S WEST Communications (now known as Qwest Communications) in
southern Idaho as its proposed service area. The Company did not include any financial
information or a business plan but explained that "it will be able to raise sufficient capital to
expand services when necessary."
Upon its review of the Company's Application, the Commission Staff advised the
Company in December 1999 that additional information was necessary to bring the filing in
compliance with Commission Order No. 26665 as well as the Commission's Telephone
Customer Relations Rules, IDAPA 31.41.01. Two of the Staff's main concerns were the lack of
financial data contained in the Application and the Company's illustrative tariffs required
advance payment for telecommunication services. The Company did not respond.
On March 30, 2000, Staff sent another letter to Clearcore requesting the information
to complete the administrative review of the Company's Application. In this subsequent letter,
Staff requested that the revisions and additional information be provided no later than April 24,
2000. Again, the Company did not respond to the Staffs inquiry.
Given the lack of responses, the Staff recommended on August 3, 2000, that
Clearcore's Application for a Certificate be dismissed without prejudice. The Staff alleged that
the Company has not been responsive to Staff's inquiries and that the Application does not
comport with the Commission's Procedural Order No. 26665 and the Commission's Telephone
Customer Relations Rules, IDAPA 31.41.01.
ORDER NO. 28489 1
S : .
Based upon the Staff's recommendation and the fact that Clearcore has not provided
the necessary information to complete its Application, the Commission finds that it is reasonable
to dismiss Clearcore's Application without prejudice. Consequently, Clearcore's Application for
a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide basic local exchange service within
Idaho is denied.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Clearcore Communications, LLC's Application for a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide basic local exchange service within
Idaho is denied without prejudice.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order (or in issues finally
decided by this Order) or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in this Case No. CCC-T-99-1
may petition for reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order
with regard to any matter decided in this order or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in this
Case No. CCC-T-99-1. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration,
any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code § 61-626.
DONE by Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this 47f
day of August 2000.
