Re: Certifications and Support Papers Regarding Revised Tariff Rates
Case No. GNR-T-12-04
Dear Ms. Jewell:
As you know, I represent the ldaho Telecom Alliance ('lTA"). The ITA is assisting its
member companies in filing revisions to the ldaho Rural Exchange Carriers ('IREC') tariff to
comply with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Order on Universal Service
and lntercarrier Compensation Reform adopting a framework to restructure intercarrier
compensation for intrastate and interstate telecommunications traffic exchanged with a local
exchange carrier. ln the Matter of Establishing Just and Reasonable Rafes for Local
Exchange Carriers, et al., WD Docket No. 07-135 et al., Report and Order and Further
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 11-161 (rel. Nov. 18,2011), and the ldaho Public
Utilities Commission's (the "Commission") Order No. 32534, April 25,2012, Case No. GNR-
T-12-04. As you know, the lCC switched access rate transition under the FCC Order
requires rate-of-return carriers' intrastate switched access rates subject to the transition to
be at parity with the corresponding capped interstate rate cap beginning July 1, 2014. The
following ITA member companies whose rates are set forth in the IREC tariff are amending
their rates to meet this requirement: Albion Telephone Company, Cambridge Telephone
Company, Columbine Telephone Company/Silver Star Company, Custer Telephone
Cooperative, lnc., Direct Communications Rockland, lnc., Farmers Mutual Telephone
Company, Filer Mutual Telephone Company, Fremont Telcom, lnland Telephone Company,
Midvale Telephone Company, Project Mutual Telephone Cooperative Association, Inc., and
Rural Telephone Company.
Enclosed herewith, in accordance with Order No. 32534, is the supporting
documentation for each of the above referenced companies for the revised rates set forth in
the IREC Tariff, along with each company's certification of the accuracy of the information
reported to the National Exchange Carriers Association. Some of the attached
documentation is considered trade secret and confidential pursuant to Section 9-340D(1) of
the ldaho Code, and is submitted to you on yellow paper. The revised IREC Tariff showing
the new changes to the rates of the above listed companies has been or will be submitted to
Jean Jewell

you under separate @ver. These rates will be effective as of July 1 , 2014 per the FCC
Order.
lf you have any questions or require further information, .please contact me at (2OB)
577-5747 or by e-mailat [e-mail].
Sincerely,
