RE: 2018 Eligible Telecommunications Garrier (ETC) Annual Reporting
Requirements with the IPUC
Dear Ms. Hanian,
Filer Mutual Telephone Company, lnc. ("the Company" or "File/') hereby provides
copies to the ldaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") of the filing to the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and the Universal Service Administrative
Corporation ("USAC") for designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, in
accordance with 47 U.S.C. 54.313 and 54.422. I have also included the signed Affidavit
pursuant to Commission Order 29841. Filer Mutual Telephone Company, Study Area
Code 472220, is a rural incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) as designated by the
FCC, and is eligible to receive federal universal service high-cost support pursuant to
the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR"), Title 47, Sections 54.301, 54.305, and Part
36, sub-part F. Please review the attached filing and include Filer Mutual Telephone
Company in your Annual Use Certification Letter to USAC and the FCC.
This filing is made pursuant to Rule 67 of the ldaho Public Utilities Commission's Rules
of Procedure l.D.A.P.A. 31.01.01.067. Filer Mutual Telephone Company respectfully
requests confidential treatment of certain information (the "Request") included in its filing
pursuant to ldaho Code $ 9-340 paragraph (D). Enclosed is a copy of each page that
contains confidential information printed on yellow-colored paper stamped 'TRADE
SECRETS", which has been placed in a sealed envelope, stamped confidential can be
reviewed by Commission staff. This information is considered confidential due to the
proprietary and customer specific information contained therein. The undersigned
hereby asserts that he is familiar with the material claimed not to be available for public
inspection, examination and copying, and that he, in good faith, believes that there is a
basis in law for that claim, namely that the information contained therein constitutes a
"trade secret" as defined in ldaho Code $ 9-340 paragraph (D), and is subject to
protection.
Filer ft/utual Telephone considers all information that relates to its financial position and
subscriber information to be proprietary and confidential in nature. Public disclosure of
such information would likely cause substantial harm to the financial position of the
Company. The Company is requesting that this information be retained as confidential.
lf you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me directly.'tn"wfu
