TC98-210 In the Matter of the Request for a Ruling Regarding Toll Limitation.

On December 3, 1998, the Commission received a letter from TELEC Consulting Resources asking for "written confirmation that the ruling regarding toll control and toll limitation as detailed in Amended Order TC97-163, XIV, issued March 10, 1998, applies to all South Dakota eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs), not just U S WEST." Since this order was only applicable to U S WEST, the Commission is seeking comments on whether it should issue an order in this docket applicable to all currently designated ETCs reflecting the change in the toll limitation requirement made by the FCC in its Fourth Order on Reconsideration. Comments will be accepted until December 29, 1998.
