In proceedings pending before the Public Utility Commission of
Texas (PUC), local exchange telephone companies are requesting
authority to charge AT&T Communications of the Squthwest, Inc.,
fpr use of their facilities. These proposed charges arehipher than
AT&T Communications can pay at current Texas long distance rate
levels. To position itself to be able to implement1rates that are suf-
ficient to produce revenues that will recover the costs facing the
company, AT&T Communications must now file for rate relief to be
able to implement rates that reflect the costs of access that are
ultimately imposed on the company.
While AT&T Communications does not want to increase its
Texas rates, an increase would be required to recover the increased
access charges AT&T Communications will have to pay to the looal
exchange telephone companies under several proposals pending
before the Commission. These access charges at the proposed in-
creased levels represent more than 80 percent of AT&T Com-
munications’ operating expense in Texas.
Accordingly, AT&T Communications, in accordance with the
Public Utility Regulatory Act and the rules of the PUC, hereby gives
notice of the company’s intent to implement a new schedule of
rates for long distance calls within Texas. The proposed rates will
be effective January 28, 1984, unless otherwise determined by the
Commission. All cuStbmers and classes of customers would be af-
fected by AT&T Comrpunicatiqns'THoposed rates.
If higher access charges are^ ordered, AT&T Communications
has no recourse but to pay these charges and recover the costs
from its customers as a cost of providing long distance service
within Texas. AT&T Communications has filed rates which would
mean a maximum overall increase in adjusted test period revenues
of $301.4 million, or 27.85 percent. This amount would help recover
cost increases due to the proposed level of access charges now
pending before the PUC.
A complete copy of all tariffs and rate schedules is on file with
the Texas Public Utility Commission at Austin, Texas, and with
every municipality in Texas.
Persons who wish to intervene or otherwise participate in these
proceedings should notify the Commission as soon as possible. A
request to intervene or participate or for further information should
be^ mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, 7800 Shoal
Creek Boulevard, Suite 400N, Austin^ Texas 78757. Further informa-
tion also may be obtained by calling the Public Utility Commission
Consumer Affairs Division at (512) 458-0223 or (512) 458-0227 or
