HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - March 21, 1990 (55)NOTICE OF PROPOSED RATE CHANGES
CIi
C; r Y Or LORI,
Pacific Bell has requested that the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) decide several issues which could affect
Pacific Bell's rates for telephone service.
Pacific Bell has proposed returning $44 million to customers as
a result of Pacific Bell's increased productivity in 1989. If
approved, the average monthly residential Pacific Bell billing
o $26 will be decrecsed by about 53 cents (2%) from May through
August 1990.
In addition, Pacific Bell has proposed rate increases totaling
approximately $135 million for certain technical accounting
changes involving the method of accounting for compensated
absence and the level at which certain items are capitalized.
These accounting changes were previously approved by the CPUC.
If these proposals are approved, the average monthly residential
bill will be increased by about 79 cents (3%) from May through
December 1990. In January 1991, this monthly increase will be
reduced to about 19 cents (0.73).
Any rate changes approved by the CPUC will be reflected in the
credit now appearing on the "Rate Surcharge" line in the
"Regulated Monthly Charges and Credits' section of the Pacific
Bell bill. The net result of these changes, if approved, will
be a slightly smaller credit on the Pacific Ball bill than its
customers are receiving today.

15697, Application 90-02-050 and related exhibits, which contain
these requests, may be obtained by writing to:

NOTICE OF AT&T COMMUNICATIONS' APPLICATION FOR RATE INCREASE
On February 26, 1990, ATCT Communications of California,
Inc. ("AT&T") filed an Application with the California Public
Utilities Commission ("CPUC") to raise the price of AT&T's
intrastate interLATA long distance Directory Assistance
service from 40 cents to 60 cents. AT&T has previously
provicca Directory Assistance at rates below cost pursuant to
CPUC orders. The pproposed rate will recover AT&T's costs for
providing the serviCo.
However, as a reasonable trade off for the increased
Directory Assistance charge, AT&T will offset the increased
revenues associated with the Directory Assistance increase by
reducing prices for the "additional minute" category of
daytime direct -dialed Long Distance Service calls traveling
over 150 miles within California. If this Application is
approved, a 10 -minute dfrect-dialed daytime) call between San
Francisco and Los Angeles would drop from $2.01 to $1.92.
A copy of the Application will be furnished upon written
request to:
Mr. Christopher Ensign

San Francisco, California 94107
