1. TC96-038 IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF AT&T COMMUNICATIONS OF THE MIDWEST, INC., FOR AN AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE LOCAL EXCHANGE SERVICE. (Staff Analyst: Harlan Best. Staff Attorney: Camron Hoseck.)

On February 29, 1996, the Commission received an application from AT&T Communications of the Midwest, Inc. to amend its Certificate of Authority to provide local exchange service. AT&T intends to offer basic residential exchange service, residential custom and class features, basic business exchange services, business custom calling and class features and business and residence ancillary services. AT&T's ability to offer these services will depend on the results of its negotiations with incumbent local exchange carriers concerning interconnection and operational matters. AT&T will provide local exchange service on a resale or facilities basis, or a combination of both. The precise manner in which AT&T will provide local exchange service in South Dakota depends on the results of negotiations with incumbent local exchange carriers. DCT, USWC, SDITC and TCI Communications of Denver, CO, filed to intervene on or before March 15, 1996. A regularly scheduled meeting of April 2, 1996, the Commission granted intervention to the petitioners. On April 3, 1996, the Commission received a motion from U S WEST to amend its petition to intervene. A regularly scheduled meeting of April 23, 1996, the Commission denied U S WEST's motion to amend its petition to intervene. A regularly scheduled meeting of May 14, 1996, the Commission granted intervention to MCI Communications Corporation (MCI). On May 23, 1996, Black Hills Corporation, (Black Hills) filed a late filed petition to intervene in this matter.

TODAY, shall the Commission grant Black Hills petition for late filed intervention?
