Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Law Bureau Prosecutory Staff v. Laurel Highland Telephone Company (2000.0333); Doc. No. C-00014921; A-311800
Rescission Order By the Commission:
On February 22, 2001, Law Bureau Prosecutory Staff instituted a complaint against Laurel Highland Telephone Company (the Respondent), an IXC reseller certificated at A-311800, for failure to remit payment for its 2000-2001 Annual Assessment. Subsequently, on May 31, 2001, the Commission entered a Default Order which sustained the complaint and cancelled respondent's certificate of public convenience. The Default Order was published on June 16, 2001, at 31 Pa.B. 3270.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Default Order, Respondent paid its outstanding assessment on June 21, 2001, representing that the reason for delinquency was administrative oversight. This is the second year in succession that Respondent has paid its outstanding assessment after Commission action has been taken. However, in recognition of the importance of promoting the availability of viable competitive service providers, we will rescind the Default Order and reinstate Respondent's certificate of public convenience. If Respondent again fails to timely pay its assessment, we may not be so favorably disposed, and may require Respondent file a new application along with the applicable $350 application fee; Therefore,
It Is Ordered:
1. That the Default Order entered May 31, 2001, at this docket is hereby rescinded.
2. That the certificate of public convenience held by Laurel Highland Telephone Company at Docket No. A-311800 is hereby reinstated.
3. That a copy of this order be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
JAMES J. MCNULTY,
Secretary
