  On September 8, 1995, Telephone Utilities of Washington, Inc., d/b/a PTI 
Communications (PTI) filed with the Commission under its Advice No. 95-13 
revisions to its currently effective Tariff WN U-1 and Tariff WN U-5, 
designated as follows:

TARIFF WN U-1

 Original Sheet No. M 44  Original Sheet No. M 93
 Original Sheet No. M 46  Original Sheet No. M 94
 Original Sheet No. M 51  Original Sheet No. M 96


  The tariff sheets bear an inserted effective date of October 9, 1995.  This 
date recognizes statutory notice as required.  The company requests, however, 
that statutory notice be waived and that the revision become effective
September 30, 1995.

  The purpose of this filing is to allow PTI to adopt the
U S WEST Exchange Maps for the acquired exchanges pursuant to authority granted 
in Docket UT-940700.  Additionally PTI is reflecting the necessary changes for 
the elimination of Foreign Exchange service in the Paradise Estate area as 
agreed to in the Settlement.

  The reason for requesting LSN is to allow PTI to begin operating the acquired 
exchanges on the agreed upon closing date.

  Since the tariff revision filed herein is fair, just and reasonable, and 
waiver of statutory notice is not inconsistent with the public interest, it is 
deemed appropriate that the company be granted the waiver it is requesting with 
an effective date of September 30, 1995.

FINDINGS

  After careful examination of the tariff revision filed herein by Telephone 
Utilities of Washington, Inc., d/b/a PTI Communications, on September 8, 1995, 
and giving consideration to all relevant matters and for good cause shown, the 
Commission finds that the tariff revision should become effective September 30, 
1995.


O R D E R

  THE COMMISSION THEREFORE ORDERS That the requested waiver of statutory notice 
in connection with the tariff revisions filed herein by Telephone Utilities of 
Washington, Inc., d/b/a PTI Communications, on September 8, 1995, is hereby 
granted, and said tariff revisions shall become effective September 30, 1995.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 27th day of September, 1995.
