		ORDER APPROVING REVENUE OBJECTIVE OF $51,300

BACKGROUND

1 On December 19, 2000, M&L Enterprises, Inc., (M&L) filed tariff revisions and 
in its cover letter  expressed an additional request for formal approval of a 
$51,300 WCAP Interim Universal Service  Pool Revenue Objective.
  
2 The Revised tariffs and the WCAP Revenue Objective come as a result of the 
Company completing  construction of drop wires to serve 150 access lines rather 
than the projected 180.

FINDINGS

3 The Commission finds it is not inconsistent with the public interest for the 
tariff to go into effect on the  stated effective date, and that the WCAP 
Revenue Objective is justified in order to provide the   universal service 
support necessary to provide service in the high-cost location.

4 The Commissioners have reviewed the petition and have been fully advised in 
the matter.  They   believe that granting the petition is in the public 
interest, subject to the conditions set for below, and  direct the Secretary to 
issue the Order.

ORDER

5 THE COMMISSION ORDERS that the Revenue Objective of $51,300 is hereby 
approved, and the  tariff revisions filed jointly in this docket are allowed to 
go into effect as field by the Company.

DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 11th day of January 2001.
