On June 20, 2003, Z-Tel Communications, Inc. filed a petition to revise its South Dakota Tariff No. 3, which is its switched access tariff. Z-Tel was granted an exemption from developing company-specific cost-based switched access rates and approval of its tariff concurring in the rates of LECA Tariff No. 1 in SDPUC Docket TC01-053. Z-Tel herein seeks waivers of ARSD 20:10:27:07 and 20:10:27:12 and requests approval of a revision of its current access rates to concur with the current access rates of Qwest.
