Public Notice
On July 1,1991, Southwestern Bell Telephone filed an applica-
tion with the Public Utility Commission of Texas that proposes to
delete Paragraph 3.4(G) from Section 3 of Southwestern Bell'T
intrastate Access Service Tariff, which concerns credits where
a customer uses Switched Access Service to furnish a service
which has been defined to be an exchange service. Tho applica-
tion was assigned Docket No. 10463.
Because Southwestern Bell is not aware of any customers
who presently use switched access service to furnish an ex-
change service. Southwestern Bell does not believe its revenues
will be affected. However, certain interexchange carrier customers
of switched access service have made claims under the afore-
mentioned tariff. Such customers, but only to the extent they
provide an exchange service using switched access, would be
affected by this application. Based on claims made for credits
(assuming such credits were allowable). Southwestern Bell's
revenues would be affected by no more than $1,168,962 annually,
which is .037 percent of the Company* adjusted revenue for the
12-month period ending December 31,1990. It is not possible to
know how many interexchange carriers might believe themselves
entitled to credits, but 189 carriers have registered with the
Commission pursuant to PUC Substantive Rule 23.61.
The tariff, after suspension, is proposed to be effective
May 1,1992.
Persons who wish to intervene or otherwise participate In
these proceedings should notify the Commission as soon as pos-
sible, but no later than November 15,1991. A request to intervene,
participate, or for further information should be mailed to the
Public Utility Commission of Texas, 7800 Shoal Creek Blvd., Suite
400N, Austin, Texas 70757. Further information may also be ob-
tained by calling the Public Utility Commission Public Information
Office at (512) 458-0256. The telecommunications device for the
