Sorry, I didn’t realize that even the sample page I sent you was only marginally compliant. At a glance, I thought it looked OK. It had a list where exchanges, counties, and subdivision names were all mixed in together. We’re getting closer, But... This current list shows only County names. The report requires a listing only by Telephone Exchange names. There is no relationship between Counties and Telephone Exchanges. Please try again.

A review of File No. BMAR-2006-1974 finds Budget Phone still out of compliance with MoPSC’s requirement for reporting data on an annual basis for the year 2005. The below message was sent April 18, 2006, to which there has been no reply. Please correct your 2005 Annual Report before submitting the corresponding report as of December 31, 2006. -------------------------------------------------- 'amagee@budgetphone.com' 2005 Annual Report Deficiency / Budget Phone, Inc. Thank you for submitting your Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) Annual Report to the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC). Certain deficiencies have been noted in your data. Your 2005 Annual Report does not list the names of telephone exchanges served. The PSC requires the names of the exchanges as itemized by the CLEC's tariff, with each of their line counts, differentiated by type as noted in the CLEC Annual Report's Section 12, Pages 5 (a) and (b). Please note that Annual Reports that list only county names, municipalities or NPA-NXX code numbers, or that try to describe service territories such as "all AT&T" or "statewide" are not satisfactory for compliance with PSC Rules. If your line counts were submitted as Highly Confidential (HC) previously, you must submit the new data as an HC supplement to your Annual Report. Otherwise, you can E-mail or Fax the missing details at this time to be filed with your Annual Report, and then please remember to provide an updated list as part of the next year's Annual Report. Please be advised that response to Deficiencies in Annual Reports must be provided within twenty (20) days of notification or penalties may be applied. Your prompt attention to resolving this matter will be appreciated.
