r TO: Orange County Board of Commissioners FROM: Technical Review Task Force - Telephone Richard A. Helwig, Chair DATE: Monday, October 20, 1986 TOPIC: Proposed reply to NC Utilities Commission docket P-89, SUB 23 Long Distance Failures During April, 1986, requests corrective orders from the North Carolina Utilities Commission. The Telephone Technical Review Task Force respectfully submits to you its proposal for a reply to the second round of disclosure responses made by AT&T, Centel, and General Telephone, as ordered by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) . This proposed reply comes to you with the unanimous recommendation of the Task Force from its meeting of Monday, October 20, 1986. After both joint and separate filings by the three telephone companies through the NC Utilities Commission, and after meeting with eleven AT&T representatives, and with continual contact with Centel, the Task Force has developed and substantiated several proposals for changes in the operating relationships between the companies providing long distance service to Orange County. The reply that we recommend to you asks the NC Utilities Commission to order these changes. The NCUC can accept our request and order the changes, or deny our request in whole or in part, or ask for further responses from the phone companies, or call for a hearing on the request, or withhold action pending other actions. For completeness, there are probably other procedural options also possible. Our proposed changes fall quite nicely in line with the direction that the Regional Telephone Task Force of the Triangle J COG seems to be heading. The arguments and specifications for our requested changes form a substantial foundation for the COG to build on.
