Dear Ms. Dortch:
In accordance with the annual reporting requirements of 47 C.F.R. §§54.313 and 54.422,
Midva le Telephone Exchange, MTE, Study Area Code 472226 is submitting a completed FCC
Form 481 to the Commission via its Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) in WC Docket
No. 14-58. The version of the Company's FCC Form ./81 submitted via ECFS is a redacted

The Company, by its authorized representati ve, hereby requests confidential treatment of two
attachments to its FCC Form 481: (I) the fiv e-year service quality improvement plan progress
report and (2) the financial annual report, both of w hi ch were redacted in the ECFS submi ssion.
The request for confidential treatment of the five-year plan progress report is being made
pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commission's rules and Exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). The request for confidential treatment of the financial annual report is
being made pursuant to the FCC's March 22, 20 16 Protective Order in WC Docket Nos. 10-90
and 14-58. These attachments contain competitively sensitive data that Midvale Telephone
Exchange maintains as confidential and does not normall y make available to the public. Release
of this information would have a substantial negative impact on the Company.

Five-Year Service Quality Improvement Plan Progress Report
Pursuant to Section 0.459 of the Commission 's rules and Exemption 4 of FOIA, Midval e
Telephone Exchange requests that the text and data extracted from its five-year service quality
improvement plan progress report be withheld from public inspection because it contains
competitively sensitive commercial and fin ancial infonnation that the Company maintains as
confidential. Public availability of this information would have a substantial negative impact on
the Company.
In accordance with Section 0.459 of the Commission's rules, the following information 1s
provided in support of this request:
(1) Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought:
Attachment to Line 11 2 of FCC Form 48 1 -Five-Year Service Quality Improvement Plan
Progress Report. Specifically, confidential treatment is sought for all infonnation in the fi ve­
year plan progress report related to the Company's access line counts, exi sting broadband
capabilities, and current and planned finan cial in vestments in its network that will improve
service quality, service coverage, and/or service capacity for its customers.
(2) Identification of t he Commission proceeding in which t he information was submitted or
a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission:
The infonnation was submitted in WC Docket No . 14-58 as an attachment to FCC Form 481-
the Carrier Annual Reporting Data Collection Form . Section 100 o f FCC Form 481 requires
incumbent local exchange carriers receiving high cost s upport to attach a progress report on
its five-year service quality improvement plan, pursuant to 4 7 C.F.R. §54.3 I 3(a)(l ).
(3) Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or
contains a trade secret or is privileged:
The five-year service quality improvement plan progress report contains granular informati on
on the Company's access line counts and/or ex isting broadband capabilities as well as recent
and plarmed capital investments in its network to improve service quality, service coverage.
and/or service capacity. It also conta ins a map of the Company's service area detailing
progress toward meeting broadband deployment targets at the wire center 1.evel. This is
closely guarded, privi leged infonnation that the Company does not make publicly available.
( 4) Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to
competition:
Broadband is subj ect to increasing competition in the areas served by rural, rate-of-return
incumbent local exchange carriers (RLECs). Virtuall y ail RLECs face competition from one
or more wireless Internet service providers. Most RLECs also face competition from at least
one other wire line broadband provider, such as a larger cable company. who will typically

MTE Communications is an equal opportunity provider and employer
seek to "cherry pick" Lhe lower cost portions of the study area. In addition, all RLECs Cace
competition throughout their territories from satellite broadband providers.
(5) Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive
harm:
Disclosure of the infonnation contajned in the five-year plan progress report would provide
competitors with detailed , granular information regarding the Company's access line count,
its existing broadband capabilities, and its recent and planned network investments that
improve service quality, coverage, and/or capacity for subscribers. This would give
competitors valuable confidential info rmation with which to develop their own strategies for
investing in the service area, thereby bringing substantial competitive harm to the Company.
(6) Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized
disclosure:
The Company has continuall y treated the extracted information in its five-year plan progress
report as confidential and carefully controls the information to protect it from competitors.
Access to the information is limited to empl oyees that require it and to non-employees with
confidentiality obligations such as lenders, consultants, auditors, and attorneys. Tn addition,
when such information is required to be submitted to a state regulatory authority it has been
filed as confidential infom1ation, not avai lable to the public.
(7) Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any
previous disclosure of the information to third parties:
The redacted information in the five-year plan progress report is not available to the public,
and thlrd-party access is limited as described in (6) above.
(8) Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that material
should not be available for public disclosure:
The Company requests that the extracted infonnation be withheld from public inspection
indefinjtely. The information in the five-year plan progress report details the Company's
most recent network upgrades in relation to its previously submitted service quality
improvement plan. It may also contain upcoming planned network improvements during the
five-year period ending 2019. T his information would provide a very useful baseline for
competitors for several years beyond that period.
(9) Any other information that the party seeking confidential information treatment
believes may be useful in assessing whether its request for confidentiality should be
granted:
Exemption 4 of FOIA sltields from public disclosure commercial or financial infom1ation
obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential. Based on the responses provided
above, the information in question satisfi es this test.

cost support to attach a full and complete annual report of the company's financial condition and

treatment of its financial annual report pursuant to the March 22, 2016 Protective Order in WC
Docket Nos. 10-90 and 14-58. 1 The Protective Order specifically covers information filed
pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §54.313(f)(2).
