RE: Potlatch Form I - Idaho Separated Results of Operations
Dear Mr. Lobb,
Please find enclosed the hard copy of the 2011 Part 36 report for Potlatch
Telephone Company. The Part 36 report is submitted in place of the Form I
because the Part 36 contains essentially all of the information required by the
Idaho Separated Results of Operations report. The substitution of Part 36 for the
Form I has been approved by the Idaho Commission in previous filings. Please
keep the Part 36 for the Commission's use only.
Please review this submission and if you have any questions or need any further
information, please call me at 608-664-4156. Thank you.
Sincerely,
