DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
DATE: MAY 23, 2023
SUBJECT: IN THE MATTER OF CAMBRIDGE TELEPHONE COMPANY’S
OBJECTION TO 2023 ASSESSMENT FEES; CASE NO. CAM-T-23-01.
On May 15, 2023, Cambridge Telephone Company (“Company”) informed the Commission
of the Company’s objection to its 2023 assessment fees. The Company claims it made an error in the
intra-state data it sent to the Commission which resulted in an assessment fee of $8,884.29 instead of
$1,839.57. Idaho Code § 61-1007 states that the Commission is to issue a written notice of a hearing
to the Company. Idaho Code § 61-1007 further states the hearing in this matter must be held between
ten and 20 days after notice of the hearing, in writing, to the objector.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
“The commission, upon receipt of [an assessment fee] objection, and after ten (10) days’
notice in writing to the objector, shall proceed to hold a hearing upon such objections within
twenty (20) days after the date of such notice.” Idaho Code § 61-1007. To fulfill this statutory
mandate, Staff recommends the Commission issue a Notice of Objection and schedule a hearing in
compliance with the requirements of Idaho Code § 61-1007.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to issue a Notice of Objection and schedule a hearing that complies
with the requirements set forth in Idaho Code § 61-1007?
