PUBLIC COMMENT INVITED

     On October 11, 1995, General Communication, Inc. ("GCI"), filed a Petition for
Reconsideration of an order approving a cost allocation plan ("CAP") that contains methods for
apportioning service costs between Bush and Non-Bush locations in the State of Alaska.  See
Alascom, Inc., Cost Allocation Plan for the Separation of Bush and Non-Bush Costs, DA 95-
1902, released September 11, 1995 ("CAP Approval Order").  

     In its petition, GCI argues that the definition used to identify Bush locations in Alascom's
CAP conflicts with previous Commission orders.  GCI contends that the appropriate definition
for Bush locations is the Commission's Bush earth station ownership policy, which defines Bush
locations as those locations where earth stations provide MTS service to communities of less
than 1,000 persons.  At the Commission's request, GCI provided a list of locations, previously
filed in this proceeding, it believes should be classified as Bush under the Commission's
definition.
