("GTE") and PTI Communications of Michigan, Inc.  !("PTI Michigan") filed a petition for waiver of the definition of "Study Area" as set forth in the  !AppendixGlossary of Part 36 of the Commission's rules. That definition constitutes a rule  !Nfreezing all study area boundaries, effective November 15, 1984. GTE seeks to alter the  !boundaries of its existing Michigan study area as a result of selling eight exchanges (having  !11,200 access lines) to PTI Michigan. PTI Michigan proposes to establish a new Michigan study area.  xIn addition, PTI Michigan seeks a waiver of Section 61.41(c) of the Commission's price  !cap rules, 47 C.F.R.  61.41, to exempt it from the price cap "all or nothing" rule. That rule  !requires nonprice cap companies, and the telephone companies with which they are affiliated,  !to become subject to price cap regulation after acquiring a price cap company or any part thereof.  !The requested waiver would permit PTI Michigan to operate under rateofreturn regulation after  !acquiring the GTE exchanges which currently are under price cap regulation. The petitioners  !submitted a Michigan Public Service Commission ("Michigan PSC") Order indicating that the  !Michigan PSC does not object to the changes in the study area boundaries caused by transferring the exchanges from GTE to PTI Michigan.  Xm!4 xInterested parties may file comments on the petition on or before May 12, 1997 , and reply  XV"4 !comments on or before May 22, 1997 , with the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission,  !+1919 M Street, N.W., Room 222, Washington, D.C. 20554.

Safeguards Branch, Common Carrier Bureau, Room 257, 2000 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.  !p20554, and one (1) copy should be sent to the Commission's contractor for public service record  !~duplication: International Transcription Service (ITS), 2100 M Street, N.W., Suite 140,  !Washington, D.C. 20037.
