Public Notice
Southwestern Bell, in accordance with the rules
of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, hereby
gives notice of the company’s intent to implement
a new schedule of telephone rates in Texas, effec-
tive July 27,1982, unless otherwise determined by
the Commission.
It is expected that the requested rate schedule
will furnish a 13.4 percent increase in the com-
pany’s intrastate revenues.
A complete copy of the new rate schedule is on
file with the Public Utility Commission at Austin,
Texas, and with each affected municipality served
by Southwestern Bell, and is available for inspec-
tion in each of the company’s public business
offices in Texas. The Commission staff has con-
tended in the past that all rates are subject to
change as a result of Southwestern Bell’s rate
application.
Notice to El Paso Area Customers
Effective January 1, 1982, Southwestern Bell
adopted the Mountain States tariffs in effect for El
Paso County. Southwestern Bell proposes to
merge the separate El Paso tariffs with its tariffs
applicable to the rest of Texas. The resulting new
rate schedule is on file with the PUC and the El
Paso area municipalities served by Southwestern
Bell, and is available for inspection at our El Paso
business office.
Notice to Customers of
Other Telephone Companies
The filing includes, but is not limited to, propos-
als to increase rates for interexchange private line
and foreign exchange (FX) service. Changes in
such rates would also affect customers of other
telephone companies because such companies
provide interexchange private line and foreign ex-
change service in accordance with rates specified
in Southwestern Bell’s tariffs. While Southwestern
Bell has proposed no increase in long distance
rates, any change in those rates would also, affect
customers of other telephone companies.
Aviso Publico
Southwestern Bell, en conformidad a las reglas
del Public Utility Commission (Comision de Servi-
cios Publicos) de Texas, por la presente hace
saber su intencion de establecer un nuevo arancel
para servicio de telefono en Texas con vigencia a
partir del 27 de julio, 1982, a menos que la Comi-
si6n haga otra determinacion.
Se espera que el nuevo arancel que se ha soli-
citado rendira un aumento de 13.4 por ciento en
los ingresos intraestatales de la compama.
Una copia completa del nuevo arancel se ha
archivado en las oficinas del Public Utility Com-
mission en Austin, Texas, al igual que en cada
municipalidad afectada y servida por Southwest-
ern Bell, y cada una de las oficinas de la compama
para negocios con el publico en Texas tiene una
copia para lectura publica. En e! pasado, la Comi-
sion ha sostenido que toda tarifa esta sujeta a
cambios que resulten de la manera en la cual
Southwestern Bell aplique sus tarifas.
Aviso a Clientes en la Region de El Paso
Con vigencia a partir del 1o de enero de 1982,
Southwestern Bell ha adoptado las tarifas de
Mountain States efectivas en el condado de El
Paso. Southwestern Bell propone unir las tarifas
de El Paso con sus otras tarifas que se aplican al
resto de Texas. El nuevo arancel que resulta de
esta union se ha archivado en la Comision de
Servicios Publicos (Public Utility Commission), al
igual que en las municipalidades de la region de El
Paso servidas por Southwestern Bell, y est£ dis-
ponible para inspection publica en nuestras ofici-
nas de El Paso.
Aviso a los Clientes de
Otras Compamas de Telefono
El registro incluye, pero no se limita a, propues-
tas para aumentar las tarifas para servicio de linea
privada entre centrales telefonicas (interex-
change private line) y servicio de central telefoni-
ca extranjera (foreign exchange FX). Cambios en
dichas tarifas de servicio tambien afectarian a
clientes de otras compamas de telefono porque
dichas compamas proveen los servicios ya men-
cionados en conformidad a tarifas especificadas
por Southwestern Bell. Aunque Southwestern Bell
no ha propuesto un aumento en las tarifas para
larga distancia, cualquier cambio en las mismas
tambien afectaria a los clientes de otras com-
pamas de telefono.
