On August 1, 2006, Northeast Nebraska Telephone Company (Northeast) filed a Petition For a Waiver of ARSD sections 20:10:32:52 - 20:10:32:54, inclusive. Northeast's study area consists primarily of a geographic area contained within the state of Nebraska. Northeast's service area in South Dakota consists of the North Bristow exchange. North Bristow is the rural portion of an exchange where the larger portion of the exchange and the central office is located in Nebraska. Northeast has no wire centers in South Dakota. For companies such as Northeast who have a very small portion of their overall study area in South Dakota, the requirement of certifying the use of universal service fund monies in accordance with the requirements of the newly-adopted ARSD sections 20:10:32:52 - 20:10:32:54 is unduly burdensome and unnecessary for the Commission to certify that Northeast is using federal high cost support for its intended purposes. Because its study area is largely contained within the state of Nebraska and because it will comply with the Nebraska Public Service Commission requirements for ETC certification, Northeast requests that it be allowed to file a copy of its Nebraska ETC certification with the SDPUC; and that the SDPUC accept such filings as sufficient to make the determination as to include Northeast on the list of certified carriers it provides to the FCC and USAC on or before October 1 of each year.
