  On July 21, 1997, NEXTLINK Washington, L.L.C., filed with the Commission, 
revisions to its Tariff WN U-5 . The purpose of this filing is to amend Message 
Toll service to add Presubscription. The filing is made pursuant to the 
petition of NEXTLINK Washington, L.L.C. for approval of IntraLATA Toll Dialing 
parity Implementation Plan, Docket UT-970320. 

  The tariff sheets bear an inserted effective date of August 20, 1997.  This 
date recognizes statutory notice as required under RCW 80.36.110.  The company 
requests, however, that statutory notice be waived and that the revisions 
become effective August 8, 1997.
 
  The reason for requesting LSN is to implement IntraLATA presubscription as 
required by the FCC and the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
  
  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 August 8, 1997.

FINDINGS

  After careful examination of the tariff revisions filed herein by NEXTLINK 
Washington, L.L.C., July 21, 1997, and giving consideration to all relevant 
matters and for good cause shown, the Commission finds that the tariff 
revisions should become effective August 8, 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 NEXTLINK Washington, 
L.L.C., July 21, 1997, is hereby granted, and said tariff revisions shall 
become effective August 8, 1997.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 30th day of July, 1997.
