		         ORDER GRANTING PETITION LIMITED WAIVER OF RULES AND DENYING PETITION 
FOR COMPANIES NOT REGISTERED IN WASHINGTON

BACKGROUND
         On June 22, 2000, TTI National, Inc., (TTI), filed a petition 
requesting waiver of WAC 480-120-139 for the transfer of intrastate intralata 
and interlata toll customers from National TeleCommunications, Parcel 
Consultants, Inc., Minimum Rate Pricing, Inc., and Discount Call Rating, Inc., 
(collectively MRP) to TTI. 
         National TeleCommunications and Parcel Consultants, Inc., are not 
registered with the Commission under 80.36 RCW to provide telecommunications 
services in the state of Washington. 
         The reason for this request is because MRP filed voluntary chapter 11 
bankruptcy petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of 
New Jersey. Subsequently, TTI has purchased the customer base of MRP whose 
accounts comprise of intrastate intralata and interlata long distance services. 
Under WAC 480-120-139, "Changes in local exchange and intrastate toll 
services," TTI would not be able to submit a change in a customer's intrastate 
toll service without confirming the customer's authorization in accordance with 
requirements in the rule. 
         This request is limited specifically to this transference of MRP's 
customer base to TTI. Customer notices have been reviewed and will be mailed to 
all affected customers informing them of their options. TTI will credit any 
charge imposed by local exchange carriers for changing their primary 
interexchange carriers to TTI. TTI's products and services are similar to those 
offered by MRP. TTI will provide MRP customers rates that are the same or lower 
than MRP's existing rates for a period of 90 days. 
         This matter was brought before the Commission at its regularly 
scheduled open meeting on October 11, 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. 

FINDINGS 
         1.  TTI National, Inc., Minimum Rate Pricing, Inc., and Discount Call 
Rating, Inc., are public service companies subject to the jurisdiction of this 
Commission under the provisions of chapter 80.36 RCW. 
        2.          National TeleCommunications and Parcel Consultants, Inc., 
are not public service companies subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission 
under the provisions of chapter 80.36.RCW and accordingly the request as it 
relates to these two companies should be denied. 
         3. The limited waiver of WAC 480-120-139 as described above and 
applicable to the transfer of customers from Minimum Rate Pricing, Inc., and 
Discount Call Rating, Inc., is reasonable and consistent with the public 
interest, and should therefore be approved.

Inc., and Discount Call Rating, Inc., and such transfer is authorized. 
        
         The limited waiver of WAC 480-120-139, for the initial transfer of
