(PRA) that does not display a valid

Description: The Commission has

provided voluntary guidelines for filing

The guidelines ask that each ELCS

request include the following

service; (2) direction of proposed

service; (3) telephone exchange

(5) state commission approval; (6)

number of access lines or customers; (7)

usage data; (8) poll results if any; (9)

community of interest statement; (10) a

map showing exchanges and LATA

boundary involved; and (11) any other

pertinent information. These guidelines
