  On May 29, 1997, NYNEX Long Distance Company filed with the Commission, 
revisions to its Tariff WN U-1.  The purpose of this filing is to revise NYNEX 
Long Distance Company's existing resale intrastate interexchange tariff by 
adding a number of promotional offerings.

  The tariff sheets bear an inserted effective date of June 29, 1997.  This 
date recognizes statutory notice as required.  The company requests, however, 
that statutory notice be waived and that the revisions become effective June 7, 
1997.
 
  The reason for requesting LSN is to implement promotional offerings as soon 
as possible.
  
  Since the tariff revisions filed herein are 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 June 7, 1997.

FINDINGS

  After careful examination of the tariff revisions filed herein by NYNEX Long 
Distance Company, May 29, 1997, and giving consideration to all relevant 
matters and for good cause shown, the Commission finds that the tariff 
revisions should become effective June 7, 1997.

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 NYNEX Long Distance 
Company, May 29, 1997, is hereby granted, and said tariff revisions shall 
become effective June 7, 1997.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 6th day of June, 1997.
