(U S West) (collectively,  xthe Joint Petitioners) filed a joint petition pursuant to section 253 of the  xCommunications Act seeking preemption of South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL)  49 x3159 as applied to Indian tribes or tribal entities. The Joint Petitioners state that  xSDCL  493159, which requires the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission  x:(SDPUC) to approve any sale of a telephone exchange within the state of South  x8Dakota, violates the terms, requirements and purposes of the Communications Act as applied to Indian tribes and tribal entities.   The Joint Petitioners argue that even though U S West desires to sell three  x.telephone exchanges to the Telephone Authority, the SDPUC has applied state law to  xprevent the sales' consummation. According to the Joint Petitioners, because the  xRSDPUC has concluded on two separate occasions that it cannot tax or regulate the  xTelephone Authority's activities, it has determined that the sales of the three  xzexchanges are not in the public interest. The Joint Petitioners further argue that the  xSDPUC will always find that the effects of tribal sovereign immunity impair the state's  xexercise of regulatory jurisdiction and collection of taxes. Thus, the Joint Petitioners  x4maintain, until the FCC preempts the SDPUC's application of SDCL  493159, no  xzIndian tribe or Indian tribal governmental entity will be able to provide  xtelecommunications services in South Dakota. The Joint Petitioners therefore argues  x\that SDCL  493159, as applied by the SDPUC to Indian tribes and tribal entities,  xconstitutes a barrier to entry into telecommunications markets in violation of the Communications Act.
