             BACKGROUND 
                  On January 14, 2000, Dahl-Smyth, Inc., G-165, filed with the 
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, revisions to its current 
tariff naming rates to become effective March 1, 2000.
                  The revisions consisted of increased rates due to an increase 
in disposal fees and other operating costs. 
                  At the Commission's Open Public Meeting on February 23, 2000, 
the Commission suspended the filing to allow for investigation to ensure the 
rights and interests of the public would not be injuriously affected. Temporary 
rates, per RCW 81.77.160, with rates not to exceed the disposal fee increase, 
were approved to become effective March 1, 2000.
                  The Respondent has requested to withdraw its originally 
proposed tariff revisions, with the exception of 2nd Revised Page No. 8 which 
is revised to include language on the placement of containers and the 1st 
Revised Page No. 9 which is revised to include all major holidays. Neither of 
these pages effects the revenue requirement of the Respondent and Commission 
Staff recommended that the pages should be allowed to become effective as 
permanent pages. The Respondent also has requested that temporary rates filed 
per RCW 81.77.160 be made permanent.
                  This matter was brought before the Commission at its 
regularly scheduled open meeting on November 29, 2000. The Commissioners, 
having been fully advised in the matter, and having determined the following 
order to be consistent with the public interest, directed the Secretary to 
enter the following order and related provisions.

suspending Docket TG-000051 is hereby dismissed.
                 2.          The Respondent be allowed to withdraw its 
originally proposed revisions, except for the 2nd Revised Page No. 8 and 1st 
Revised Page No. 9 which shall be authorized to become effective December 1, 
2000.                  
                 3.          The present temporary rates shall be authorized to
