     On June 5, 1995,  Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell (the Pacific Companies) filed a petition
for clarification or waiver of the requirements adopted in the LEC Performance Review First
Report and Order.  The Pacific Companies request that the Commission clarify that the modified
local exchange carrier (LEC) price cap rules permit the Pacific Companies to elect a 5.3 percent
productivity offset figure (or X-Factor), without any sharing of 1995 earnings, beginning January
1, 1995.  In the alternative, the Pacific Companies request a waiver of the Commission's rules
and Orders to make such an election.

     Interested parties may file comments on the petition filed by the Pacific Companies no
later than June 16, 1995.  Replies to the comments may be filed no later than June 21, 1995.    

     An original and four copies of all comments and replies must be filed in accordance with
Section 1.51(c) of the Commission's rules,  47 C.F.R.  1.51(c).  In addition, one copy of each
pleading must be filed with International Transcription Services, Inc., 2100 M Street, N.W. Suite
140, Washington, D.C. 20037, and one copy with the Chief, Tariff Division, Room 518, 1919
M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.  Finally, all comments and replies must be served
personally, rather than mailed, because of the short pleading cycle established. 

     For further information, contact Debra Sabourin, Tariff Division, Common Carrier Bureau,
(202) 418-1530.
