     On June 14, 1995,  Rochester Telephone Corp. (Rochester) and Frontier Communications
of Iowa, Inc., and Frontier Communications of Minnesota, Inc. (collectively, Frontier) together
filed a petition for clarification or waiver of the requirements adopted in the LEC Performance
Review First Report and Order.  Rochester and Frontier request that the Commission clarify that
the modified local exchange carrier (LEC) price cap rules permit it 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, they 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 Rochester and Frontier no
later than June 26, 1995.  Replies to the comments may be filed no later than June 30, 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.
