(USWC) requesting waiver  X of LATA boundaries in certain areas of Oregon and Nebraska. All of these petitions request LATA relief for the purpose of providing expanded local calling service (ELCS).  X On July 26, 1996, the Commission issued a public notice seeking comment on: (1) petitions filed by  X Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWBT) and BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. (BellSouth)  X wrequesting waiver of LATA boundaries in certain areas of Texas and North Carolina, respectively, for  X ;the purpose of providing ELCS; and (2) a petition filed by SWBT for waiver of LATA boundaries for  X- X the purpose of providing integrated services digital network (ISDN) in Hearne, Texas. See Public  X LNotice, "Commission Seeks Comment on Petitions for Waiver of LATA Boundaries to Provide Expanded Local Calling Service in Texas and North Carolina," DA 961190, released July 26, 1996.  X -Although most of the petitions describe the relief sought as a "waiver" of LATA boundaries, the  X petitions cite Section 3(25) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  153, as the  X basis of the Commission's jurisdiction to act upon these requests. Section 3(25) states, in pertinent  X part, that a LATA is "a contiguous geographic area . . . established or modified by a Bell operating  X company . . . and approved by the Commission." Thus, it appears that Petitioners are actually seeking  X Commission approval, pursuant to Section 3(25), for proposed LATA modifications only for the  X specific geographic areas and purposes described in the petitions. Accordingly, we will treat these  X petitions as requests for authority to alter LATA boundaries only for the limited purpose of providing(0*0*0*2(enQ U ! 6  '# n  h  X ELCS, or ISDN, in specific areas; the LATA boundary for all other purposes would remain unchanged.  X Because the July 26, 1996 public notice did not make this clear, we are providing an additional opportunity for public comment on the SWBT and BellSouth petitions. The requests at issue are as follows:  Xv-Nebraska  X On November 4, 1996, USWC filed a petition (File No. NSDL9618) for waiver of certain LATA  X =boundaries in Nebraska to provide twoway, nonoptional ELCS between: (1) USWC's Omaha  X [common service area, and Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Company's (LT&T's) 234 exchange  X iserving the communities of Cedar Creek, Louisville, and Manley; and (2) USWC's Omaha common service area, and LT&T's Murray exchange.
