RE:Comm South Companies, Inc. Request to Withdraw Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity No. 368
On July 15 , 2002, we received a request from Comm South Companies, Inc. to withdraw
its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate No. 368). Comm South states
that it is not currently doing business in Idaho and does not plan to in the near future.
In July 1999, Comm South applied for a Certificate to provide prepaid local service and
the Application was approved by Order No. 28243. Comm South posted the required $50 000
indemnity bond (which is to remain in force until the Commission issues an order to release the
surety) and has a tariff on file.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission issue an order canceling Comm South'
Certificate and tariff and releasing our requirement for an indemnity bond. Does the
Commission agree?
