On November 7, 2016, MCimetro Access Transmission Services, LLC notified the
Commission that the Company has changed its name to MCimetro Access Transmission
Services Corp. The Company provides local telecommunications services including basic local
exchange services within Idaho under Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
No. 337. The Company has asked the Commission to update the CPCN to reflect the Company's
new name. With this Order, we grant the Company's request.
BACKGROUND
In early 1998, the Commission issued CPCN No. 337 to MCimetro Access
Transmission Services, Inc. Order No. 27307. The Certificate was amended in August 2003,
when the Commission approved a name change to MCimetro Access Transmission Services,
LLC. Order No. 29972. The Certificate was later amended in 2006 to reflect that MCimetro had
been purchased by Verizon and would now be known as MCimetro Access Transmission
Services, LLC dba Verizon Access Transmission Services. Order No. 29367.
The Company has now notified the Commission that it has changed its name to
MCimetro Access Transmission Services Corp. The Company also filed a copy of the
Certificate of Registration and Foreign Registration Statement with the Idaho Secretary of State's
office. Staff has reviewed this documentation and recommended that the Commission amend
Certificate No. 337 to reflect the name change to MCimetro Access Transmission Services Corp.
FINDINGS
Based on our review of the Company's filing and Staff's recommendation, the
Commission finds it appropriate to amend Certificate No. 337 to reflect that the Company has
changed its name to MCimetro Access Transmission Services Corp.
ORDER NO. 33663
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Certificate No. 337 is amended to reflect that the
Certificate holder's name is MCimetro Access Transmission Services Corp.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order 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 in Case No. MCM-T-03-01. Within seven (7) days after any person
has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See
Idaho Code§§ 61-626 and 62-619.
DONE by Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this
day of December 2016.
