NOTICES

Telecommunications

[28 Pa.B. 1909]

   P-00971314.  Service Electric Telephone Company, Inc. (SETI).  Petition of Service Electric Telephone Company, Inc. (SETI) for designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier under section 214(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and sections 54.201--54.207 of the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission.

   On December 19, 1997, Service Electric Telephone Company, Inc. (SETI) filed a petition (SETI Petition) with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) requesting designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (ETC) for purposes under section 214(e) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and sections 54.201--54.207 of the Rules of the Federal Communications Commission.

   The Commission has made several ETC designations in order to assure the uninterrupted receipt of Universal Service Fund (USF) support for other local exchange carriers (LECs). SETI, however, submitted a petition after the Commission's final public meeting for 1997. The Commission's review in this proceeding follows the process used in the prior proceedings. This includes the requirement that there be a Lifeline Program in place, before any ETC designation is granted, consistent with the FCC's requirements.

   The Commission has also determined that the solicitation of public comment is appropriate. Consequently, the Commission is providing this public notice for comments and reply comments. The deadline for comments shall be 7 days dating from publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The deadline for submitting reply comments shall be 14 days dating from publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   Persons or entities submitting comments must file an original and 13 copies of any comment or reply comment with the Office of the Secretary in PUC Doc. No. P-00971314. One copy must also be filed in PUC Doc. No. I-00940035.

   The contact person at the Commission is Joseph K. Witmer, Assistant Counsel, Law Bureau (717) 787-3663. A copy of the SETI Petition may be obtained from Lisa Higley in the Office of the Secretary at (717) 787-1013.
