Summary: On November 21, 1997, Michael Sasser, attorney for Pacific Bell (PacBell), sent a letter (attached to notice) to Cmmrs. Conlon, Neeper, Knight, Duque, and Bilas in San Francisco. A copy was also sent to Thomas MacBride, attorney for CALTEL. Sasser stated that the Commission correctly denied CALTEL's Petition for Modification of the IRD decision, and its application for rehearing should be denied as well. Sasser stated that CALTEL is wrong in arguing that the Commission's discussion of revenue neutrality in D97-07- 024 does not apply to the issue of revenue neutrality raised by CALTEL in its Petition for Modification and Application for Rehearing. Sasser stated that in denying CALTEL's Petition to Modify the IRD decision, the Commission correctly rejected CALTEL's argument that PacBell's use of the surcharge/surcredit mechanism was inconsistent with the IRD decision. Sasser stated that the Commission found the effect of which CALTEL complains was not unanticipated and that if the Commission had intended a change in the bill date method of applying surcharges and surcredits it would have addressed that issue in the IRD decision which it did not.
