a special amortization, from January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2011,
for digital electronic switch equipment and circuit equipment - digital
subscriber carrier equipment. Further, the application seeks adoption
of a previously-approved depreciation rate, effective January 1, 2009,
pursuant to 52.252 and 53.056, of the Public Utility Regulatory Act,
TEXAS UTILITY CODE ANNOTATED (Vernon 2007 & Supplemen-
tal 2008) (PURA). A summary of the application follows.

and Adoption of Depreciation Rate for New Class of Property Pursuant
to P.U.C. Substantive Rule 26.206, Docket Number 36552.
The Application: Mid-Plains requested approval of a special amorti-
zation over a 39-month period, from January 1, 2008 to March 31,
2011, for Account Number 2212.000 - Digital Electronic Switch and
for Account Number 2232.500 - Circuit Equipment - Subscriber Car-
rier. Mid-Plains stated that due to advances in new technologies and the
