  On March 28, 2000, U.S. LONG DISTANCE, INC. (USLD) filed with the Commission 
revisions to its currently effective Alternate Operator Services Price List, 
designated as follows:

   Second Revised Page No. 21
   First Revised Page No. 22
   First Revised Page No. 23
   First Revised Page No. 24
   First Revised Page No. 25
   First Revised Page No. 26
   First Revised Page No. 27
   First Revised Page No. 28
   First Revised Page No. 29
   
  The company requests the statutory 10-day notice be waived and that the 
revisions become effective March 31, 2000.

  The proposed price list would revise rates in USLD's Alternate Operator 
Services Price List to reflect rates and surcharges no higher than AT&T's 
current rates for similar calls in Washington.  USLD has requested a waiver of 
the statutory 10-day notice period so that the revisions, which reduce these 
rates, can be implemented as soon as possible. 

  Since the price list 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 March 31, 2000.

FINDINGS

  After careful examination of the price list revisions filed herein by USLD on 
March 28, 2000, and giving consideration to all relevant matters and for good 
cause shown, the Commission finds that the price list revisions should become 
effective on March 31, 2000.
O R D E R

  THE COMMISSION THEREFORE ORDERS That the requested waiver of statutory notice 
in connection with the price list revisions filed herein by U.S. Long Distance, 
Inc., on March 28, 2000, is hereby granted, and said price list revisions shall 
become effective on
March 31, 2000.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this      day of March, 2000.
