Re:GNR-T-97-9
EAS between Tipanuk, Boise River, Mountain Home and Treasure Valley Exchanges
Dear Participant:
At the public hearing held on February 16, 1999, in Mountain Home, you expressed an interest in this case.  Originally, the Commission had scheduled a technical hearing to begin on March 2, 1999.  Based on the public hearing testimony, more cost information is necessary.  Therefore, Rural Telephone Company, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission Staff and U S WEST stipulated to delay the technical hearing for up to sixty days to allow the potential costs to be fully analyzed.  
If you wish to receive notice of the rescheduled technical hearing, please contact the Commission Secretary at
Sincerely,
Cheri C. Copsey
Sincerely,
