(Mirrormont) filed with the Commission revision to its currently effective Tariff WN U-1, designated as: Third Revision Sheet No. 8 Canceling Second Revision Sheet No. 8. The tariff sheet bears an inserted effective date of February 8, 1998. This date recognizes statutory notice as required. The company requests, however, that statutory notice be waived and that the revision become effective January 31, 1998. This filing is made to change the billing cycle of the company from monthly to bi-monthly. This filing is revenue neutral to the company and the customer. The company will continue to offer a monthly payment program to customers who find the bi-monthly payments burdensome. Mirrormont is seeking Less Than Statutory Notice (LSN) treatment to coincide with the company's next billing cycle. 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 January 31, 1998. FINDINGS After careful examination of the tariff revision filed herein by Mirrormont Services, Inc., January 7, 1998, and giving consideration to all relevant matters and for good cause shown, the Commission finds that the tariff revision should become effective January 31, 1998.
