TC00-096 In the Matter of the Request by West River Telecommunications Cooperative for a Waiver of a Requirement to File a Switched Access Cost Study.

West River Telecommunications Cooperative filed a request to waive ARSD 20:10:27:07 which requires a company to submit "cost data in support of its switched access service tariff no less than once every three years." West River Telecommunications (WRT) states that "such a waiver [should be] allowed given that: 1) the estimated impact on access rates of a filing is negligible, 2) the cost of making a filing is significant given the number of customers involved, [and] 3) a similar filing by WRT's for its South Dakota study area, Mobridge Telecommunication Company, would more than offset the WRT reduction." West River Telecommunications Cooperative is a member of the Local Exchange Carriers Association.
