     On June 30, 1995,  Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph Company (Lincoln) filed a petition
for clarification or waiver of the requirements adopted in the LEC Performance Review First
Report and Order.  Lincoln requests 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, Lincoln requests a waiver of the Commission's rules and Orders to make such an
election.

     Interested parties may file comments on the petition filed by Lincoln no later than July
14, 1995.  Replies to the comments may be filed no later than July 19, 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.
