NOTICES

Representative Default Orders

[32 Pa.B. 5596]

   The Law Bureau Prosecutory Staff of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) filed formal complaints against 83 named telecommunications resellers for failure to file their 2000 annual reports.

   The Commission attempted service of the complaints upon all 83 resellers. Service was perfected on 34 of the utilities. To date, more than 20 days after service, no answer has been received from any of these 34 utilities.

   According to United States Postal Service return receipts, service of the complaints was not perfected on 49 of the resellers, due to the complaints being unclaimed, unclaimed because forwarding address expired or refused. Again, more than 20 days after attempted service, no answers have been received.

   Therefore, the Commission has ordered the Secretary's Bureau to publish notice of these default orders which revoke the resellers' certificates of public convenience after a 20-day comment period, absent adverse comment. Thirty days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, absent adverse comment and without further Commission action, the certificates shall be revoked and the utilities' names stricken from all active utility lists maintained by the Commission.

   Following are four representative orders, reflecting language indicating service perfected, unclaimed, unclaimed because forwarding address expired or refused, with a list of utility names and docket numbers corresponding to each order.
