In the local access tariff,there are several changes to note.First,this tariff represents the mergerofSawtoothintoMidvaleTelephone.In cases where there were discrepancies in rates,we optedtousetheMidvalerate,thus making rates standard across all Midvale's exchanges.Second,several archaic services have been eliminated,such as Centrex and fire alarm systems (replacedby911services).Third,you'll notice the addition of a new vacation rate structure from astandard4monthsathalfrate,to an option of either half rate all the time for Seasonal customers,or the abilityto simply disconnect service,but save the phone number for futureuse.Althoughthiswilllikelyresultinanegligiblerevenuelost,we believe it will be made up for the reductioninstafftimecurrentlyrequiredtotrackvacationratecustomers,and thus there will be no attemptbyMidvaletorecoveranylossthroughtheIdahoUSFatthistime.Further,customers haverequestedthisrevisionandwebelievethatitmeetstheirneeds.Finally,the local tariff has beenreorganizedtomakeitamoreusefuldocumentforourstaff. The access tariff replaces Midvale's filing in the Idaho Rural Exchange Carrier tariff(administered by GVNW).This tariff includes the updated rates as mandated in IPUC ordernumber28420.Other than some minor re-organization (e.g.,placing all access rate componentsonthesamepage)and eliminating sections which simply do not apply to Midvale (e.g.,FeatureGroupC),this tariff is nearly identical to the Idaho Rural Exchange Carriers'tariff. Finally,we have been instructed that it is no longer necessary to sign every page of eachdocument.Thus this letter functions to authorize and present these tariffs for the Commission'sapproval.We appreciate your consideration,and encourage you to contact us should you haveanyquestions.
