("Bettles") and Telephone Utilities of the  !hNorthland, Inc. d/b/a PTI Communications ("Northland") 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 freezing all study area boundaries. The requested waivers  !would allow the petitioners to alter the boundaries of their Alaska study areas to allow for the  !transfer of one small exchange (60 access lines) from Northland to Bettles. In addition, the  !Rpetitioners request that the Commission expeditiously grant this request without requiring the  !submission of the detailed information required when considering larger study area waiver  ! requests. The petitioners submitted an Alaska Public Utilities Commission ("Alaska PUC") Order  !indicating that the Alaska PUC does not object to the changes in the study area boundaries caused by transferring the exchange from Northland to Bettles.  X4 xInterested parties may file comments on the petition on or before May 21, 1997 , and reply  X4 !comments on or before June 2, 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. Copies of the petition may be obtained from the Accounting and  !EAudits Division's public reference room, Room 812, 2000 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
