NOTICE OF MODIFIED
PROCEDURE
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that on August 7, 1997, U S WEST Communications, Inc. (U S WEST; Company) filed revisions to its northern Idaho Exchange and Network Services tariff, Private Line Transport Services tariff and Advanced Communications Services tariff. The Company seeks to revise its liability assessments on contracts for network services, private line transport, and advanced services that are discontinued prior to the normal contract expiration date.
On September 8, 1997, the Commission conducted a decision meeting to determine how to proceed with U S WEST’s tariff advice filing. The Commission Staff expressed a number of concerns regarding the proposed tariff revisions. Because of the controversial and somewhat complex nature of the tariff filings, the Commission issued Interlocutory Order No. 27130 on September 9, 1997, suspending U S WEST’s proposed tariff advices until March 9, 1998, or until it could issue a final order in this matter.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the Commission has determined that the public interest may not require a formal hearing in this matter and will proceed under Modified Procedure pursuant to Rules 201 through 204 of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission's Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01.201 through -.204.
